Personally I think this topic is great, it's light hearted fun and never too serious.
You see some really interesting cars up for sale that are overpriced as well as cars that sell for more than expected. Last year the car I own was posted and I'm sure everyone thinks I'm still drinking the funny water as I own the Rustberg and a Amazon which has a similar amount of rust. Enthusiasts can see the funny side of most things but also wonder why a base model is worth way too much because a seller thinks it's rare. Just remember this topic is called seriously. Don't take anything to heart. |

This 240 is slightly interesting:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186497925...mis&media=COPY … so it is a non-historic registered 240 GL saloon with a few gaps in its history (maybe a few rests under the apple tree) but low recorded mileage - maybe it has only done 45,000 miles in 34 years? I don’t suppose we will ever know. The seller thinks it is worth £8,500 (which I doubt) but is entertaining bids from £6,500. I wish the seller well, but to be candid I’d say it is somewhat less good than The Barge (which had the tax and ULEZ exemption advantages of an historic car) and made 6 grand last year. I’ll keep an eye on this one, my feeling is that it probably won’t get much interest at £6,500… but I’d be pleased to be proven wrong. ![]()

Cheaper and more interesting than a 2005 Mondeo or similar and likely to hold its value as well.

Well this defines the category I think.

It would be a bargain at £2,500, okay at £3,500 but a bit expensive at £4,500. It won’t qualify as an historic vehicle until April 2032 (assuming that little concession has not been abolished by then), so there is about 4 grand worth of duty to pay in the meantime. I’ll keep an eye on it to see if there is a lot of interest - I could well be wrong. ![]()

Seriously though, it is a little bit hard to imagine what might be the market for something like this. It needs significant work, but getting parts would be a nightmare, and then what would one do with it? The seller thinks it is worth £5,000, but I can’t help thinking a monkey might be closer to the mark. ![]()
