Colin Lindsay Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Nice to see he's prepared to keep it if it doesn't sell. I think he'll need to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 I noticed it is for sale in Germany, must be their sense of humour. Err... do they have one? OK so they do have one but they take it seriously, if you see what I mean, and use it with caution.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 It's funny, but I personally look at a car like that and think: 'way overpriced.' Based on my own meagre budget of course! Others will look at that and think: investment, or tax relief, or tax offset, or even the old 'it must be better than everyone else's as it's more expensive' and buy it on those grounds. It may surprise most of us how often cars like this do sell to buyers who can easily afford to enjoy them at that sort of money. Not the circles I move in, though!

daverclasper Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 That could be the case I think Colin. A wealthy blokes wife see's a Vit conv. "ooh, I'd like one". Not as many in Europe and need left hookers (but don't tell the wife). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitfireGeorge Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hi Guys, Surprising how small Triumphs are going up in value, saw a Spitfire Mk2 going for £29,000 the other week! Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyman Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 It is surprising what a classic will sell for....About 10yrs ago i bought a second classic car.... wife say's "you can't drive two, one has to go" So i put the older one up for sale at a stupid price two grand more than i paid for it 12mths earlier thinking "no one will pay that, i can keep the two" 3days later a chap came round i refused any offer he made and he ended up paying the full asking price....... One half of me was gutted the other pleased......The good part of the story is that the wife see's them as an investment? As i now have three toys to play with Tony.

AndyTV8 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 That is certainly (IMV) an optimistic price, but with all things it is worth whatever someone is prepared to pay. ...... andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul H Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Here’s s more expensive Vitesse . This was at Duxford today . Whilst condition was good there was still rust bubbles evident Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 That's probably the proper price for that car given its' history, but how many will ever pay it? S'funny, we have this 2.5 litre Vitesse Estate locally that has just come up for sale; this one is a Chic Doig conversion which I remembered seeing parked at the owner's house back in the 1990s, but had dropped off the radar in recent years. It's suffered a bit in recent times. Owner is looking for about £8000 if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst condition was good there was still rust bubbles evident I think this was the car Chris Gumby tricked me into valuing during my valuation training at SEM last year. If it's the same one the rear hatch didn't fit too well. If it isn't there's two! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 If you saw Jo's low mileage original Stag at Duxford valued at £28k has to be a much better beautiful / value proposition Its not for sale Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
