The thing that puzzles me most about all these recent valuations/prices is where do they come from? Are they just fishing and hoping to catch someone? Is it guesswork? Or does the’trade’ know something we don’t. Anyway it is nice to see a rise in values for our wedges but as been said we do not want to get into the ‘worth stealing’ bracket.
I'd say it's just fishing....
I've ranted long and hard about this; Its worth what someone is ultimately prepared to pay. I wouldn't pay more that £200 for it. However, Someone
may pay his asking price (and be very very disappointed, very quickly!).
I'd say a good condition to perfect condition 480 is £5-6k, simply based on the fact that it'd cost around that much to get them there....
Think about this:
Ask your friendly scrap man what he'd pay - He's looking at the car in terms of scrap steel.
Ask the bloke who's dad's car it once was? Could be priceless to him.
Wonder boy trader paid £400 for it - That's the minimum it's worth to him. He's trying to cash in on the rarity of it, hoping someone bites. He'll kipper the arches, bent MOT, total cost, £600. Anything above that is pure profit. So even if you haggle down to 5k and think you're getting a shrewd deal, he's still done you over.
