not my car and very brief details but I was asked today to put a value on a saph for someone.

the car is a 1 owner car garaged from new, G reg magenta with 48,000 miles.

not seen it so unsure on condition but been told its in very good condition. so go with no welding etc.

what is a realistic value for this car say in the spring time. trying to help a friend out. note the owner was in his late 50s and bought it new.

thanks

If it is as good as it sounds I would give you 10k tomorrow has it got leather ?

So many variables can change what it's worth, paperwork, any modifications, etc. Prices appear to be Ł8500-20.000 for very good to mint cars. The higher prices cars don't seem to sell very quickly and mainly sold by traders who add RS tax.

That 1 owner car if mint is about 10k ish i'd say, earlier 2wd cars are more sought after and can fetch 20% more

andy888

it has full leather and every mot etc. standard bar a stainless as far as I know.

andy888

it is 2wd

I think to woman looked on pistonheads and mentioned the 10k figure. I thought it may be a bit more than that as there can't be many left with the right story

If it's for sale I'm seriously interested just let me know I will end up buying something ASAP

andy888

I will find out more about it shortly. it's an older woman and her husband has passed away and I am trying to help her if I can. I am out of touch with cosworth values. I haven't seen the car yet I heard through a friend. I would like it to go to an enthusiast if it's as nice and genuine as I've been told. I will get a look at it.

it will all come down to condition, classic 80's & 90's cars are fetching very good money if factory standard. if its in very good order and immaculate, get it on Car & classic

Cos500

Genuine car with good history and immaculate or close to 12-14k if 2wd
1 owner cars are hard to come by, shame it's magenta but still, forget ebay etc and have them advertise it in car and classic or something

If the owner would like any help or advice get her to give me a call 07745230902

Condition, condition, condition! coupled with the other info I would say Ł12k min these days if mint and standard, badly stored in a leaky garage and that figure drops south very quickly

Thats also if she wants to put up with the hassle of all the clowns wasting her time, better off selling to a decent trader or putting it through a classic auction if she does not need the grief

andy888

going to see it this week so will report back! I think she has looked online to get a rough figure. I will go check the condition etc

Racing brown dear god weigh it in

I agree though if it is that standard and that good 12k up I would say

There are only around 1000 2wd Sapphires on the road now, they are rarer than 3 doors and good ones should be making top money now. This one sounds like a cracker so she should ask for as much as she can get in my opinion.
