I was dealing with a bloke who actually paid the biggest sum for a group A touring car when you bare in mind a rouse or engenberger cars wee fetching between 20 and 30 k he paid 85k for a slow never won a thing group a 500 so over night cars with providence were worth more lol. So in true its actually stoopid moves that put the values up pmsl .
Remember the escort cossie with 800 miles on it that sold for 100k ? It sold for 70k a few months after.
Cars can not be valued by auction prices and most normal cossies with no providence never sell for advertised price
Do you anymore about the £100K Escort Cosworth Jay? Why did the person sell it on with a £30K loss a few months later? Was he a dealer who got his fingers burnt or a private buyer as it seems strange to me if the buyer paid £100k for it why did'nt he want to keep it?
