I was just flicking through the C&C ads (XC90Mk1 gave me that idea) and came across this interesting motor car (I know, it is a 740 in the 240 corner):
https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1426983 The owner claims that 34 years ago it 'was originally purchased with the sole purpose of it becoming a classic car'. Surely no one would have seriously done that in 1988! Anyway, it is a nice motor car, but it won't be worth 5 grand in this market, which will see it as a big, heavy, thirsty beast that still has to be taxed and MoT tested. I quite like it, but I couldn't offer the seller what it is worth in this market and keep a straight face. :-)

https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1299224 ... I'm guessing there aren't all that many orange 244DLs still hanging around, so I suspect I'm right. The seller is still looking for £10,000 - after a year and a half of trying, this rather supports XC90Mk1's point above. :-)

Never a popular colour even when new (regardless of make or model!) and unless you have masochistic tendencies awaiting verbal abuse for buying an orange one, won't be popular these days either. I like orange as a colour (but not on a car or a house!), i like the fruit, the juice/squash and ice lollies but on a car, even a classic car? No! Someone will probably like it somewhere but do they have that kind of money and the inclination to spend it on a 42 year old car?

That low mileage 1978 244DL didn't attract a single bid at £4,000. So, we conclude the market for historic motor cars has softened considerably. I think that motor car would have made £4,000 and quite a bit more 6 months ago. That motor car isn't all that different to the orange one (the Ice Lolly) we were discussing earlier, which is being marketed at £10,000 - probably not this decade :-) Alan
