Bloody-hell, I think I may have to keep and finish mine!

Wonder what they would pay for an EV swapped one...

Got £75k for mine in 2021 with 2.2L ICE.
Always thought an EV version would be attractive.

 

[Pingu]

car and classic auctions seem to attract very high prices.

@MisterP007 - why not give them a go. At least you will know that it's gone when it's gone.

 

[Jezza]

So it sold for £77k. Good result in the winter months.

 

[Pingu]

The body looks very well finished. I would like to have a good look round one of these high value cars.

Personally, I can't see why a Z in drag should be worth so much more than a Z.

I'll definitely be selling mine at auction when the time comes. No tyre kickers. Vetted customers. When it's gone, it's gone. Money in the bank, move on.

[Jezza]

Expensive donor Steve!!
You meant £3k I presume

 

[jaguartvr]

Maybe!

 

[IanA]

I'd like to have seen it with knock-on wheels. Maybe the new owner will fit Borranis.

 

[jaguartvr]

Borranis are just too wide, and also horribly expensive.

Hey Pingu

I may have to keep it and finish next year to sell (£77k sound good to me). Best price I have been offered at the moment is £12500!

At the end of the day, it's worth what someone is prepared to spend. You just need to find the right shop window. It looks like bargain hunters use eBay, and people with serious money use different auctions.

Hi all

Not been on for a while as I lost the use of my big workshop and moved to somewhere with no facilities to build a car (not even a parking space!).

I have now sold the 250 California to a very nice guy who will no doubt be joining the forum in due course. He will be continuing the build from here on.

I still have the 250SWB Replica (the blue one).

No doubt there will be a follow-on thread linked to this one when the new owner signs up.

Thanks for all the help folks.

I will still be around on this thread as modifications/repairs continue on the 250SWB.

Sandy

The car was used for my son's wedding last month. £600-700 a pop for a classic car at a wedding!!!

 

[Pingu]

I hope the marriage certificate is a real one

Better if it is a fake, save him a fortune in 25-30 year's time (ask me how I know!!)
