How on earth is this worth £75k

[Cheib]

Just saw this car on 4star classics website

http://www.4starclassics.com/Honda-Z-Micro-For-Sal...

A very low mileage Z600 for £75k?!?!?! If that was a mint/ultra low mileage average 80's car surely it would be worth maybe £20k at the very best?!

Must be a typo. I just e-mailed them to ask.

If it's not a typo I guess they're hoping on the same madmen bidding on the Bruce Weiner microcar collection.

They'll be trying to jump that bandwagon - I guess there may be a collector in Japan who'd pay that for it.

There's a dealer near me is SW France who has a Messerschmitt in the showroom with €37,000 on it. He's had it more than a year now...

It goes back to a car being worth what someone will pay nd you can ask what you wnt but will get what someone will pay.

Who pays £20k for a dirty Spitfire, there are plenty who will
Who pays £100k for a rusty E type
Who pays $1000000 for an old Toyota?

These are all cars at prices many would have scoffed at but in real terms, it's not a lot of money if that's what you want.

I suppose these might be highly sort after in Japan....that has to be the angle. What would a 1,000 mile bog standard Mini of the same era be worth ?

[ClassicMotorNut]

I don't think the microcar buyers were mad at all, but £75,000 for this Honda? Nice as it is, £7500 would be more like it.

[Lowtimer]

They have surely put the decimal point in the wrong place on that one.

Easy, it's "JDM"....

The prices for most of their cars seem to be insane to be fair. All on SOR too I would venture

It HAS to be on SOR. A dealer would have to have exceptionally big spuds to sink their own money into that and hope to retail it at that price.

Maybe the typo is with the currency ? Should be Yen instead of £

is it still airworthy?

[Motown Junk]

Potential huge profit here. Well it's 25% bigger so must be worth £100k of anyone's money....
