Bloody hell what are some people on the greedy fookers. Looking at the pics and engine bay I wouldn't say it is concours. Can understand it being in a museum. Even being a millionaire surely that as An investment wouldn't even make financial sense? Who knows maybe they'll be worth that in 20 years time

By no means concours, shouldn't be described as such.
Oldcoats is about 15mins from me, can't say I've ever seen it around but with that mileage I doubt it's driven, if so it would take some work recommissioning as I did with the old 500, spent 5k getting it back on the road as had sat in a museum from 91 with 20k miles, I know there can't be many around with such low miles but it's nothing special really.

what people are forgetting is that sometimes it doesn't have to make financial sense someone very rich that has a big car collection sometimes doesn't care what it costs..

just think how many rs500 are now parked on marble floor in rich mans showrooms/garages after buying them for 100K +

How has it jumped from the £50k it reached on E-bay before to £70k now? Where has it suddenly got another £20k from?
A crazy greedy price IMO but it probably will sell so it can go into another collectors museum!

It's jumped because a dealer has it now.
The previous seller was maurocas or similar,now it's dst automotive.
Previous item number 122198630870
Maybe a sale or return deal,who knows but I hope he gets 69k for it being a saph owner myself lol,but we all know he won't!

Utter madness, pricing enthusiasts out the market. Not just Fords though.

Shame the pictures are still a bit guff, if the car is that good I'd want the clearest pics to show it off. Just looks like another blurry saff of eBay...

I wonder how much the Insurance would be when you tell them you want an agreed value of £70k for your Saff ?

Good point, they would probably laugh at him.. He'd probably cover it on his traders policy..

Looks a bargain in comparison to Merc 190 EVOs for 200k and M3s at 100k
