Very nice, maybe the best around, but £40k for a Mk1 Golf GTI? https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1241533.
Probably one day that will be the going rate, but not yet..
They’re at about 27k for the best at the momentProbably one day that will be the going rate, but not yet..

I don't really see why ''one day'' it would be worth that... surely 80's and 90's hot hatches are now at their peak desirability in terms of the generation who these cars mean anything to and can afford to pay the already insane bubble prices, I don't think in 10 or 20 years times there'll be millennials lusting after mk1 golfs, 205's etc Probably one day that will be the going rate, but not yet..

Theres more Mk1 Coopers now than ever produced in the first place
Is this a matter of fact?(Not disputing, I genuinely don’t know either way but it’d be interesting if it was the case).

Take the Sierra Cosworth. 20 years ago, you'd struggle to find one that didn't have a chequered history, often involving being stolen and recovered at least once, bad modifications, or being built out of several other cars. Yet, today, every example that comes up for sale seems to be advertised as "mint and original". A good friend of mine bought a Sapphire in the early 00s, and it took him 8 months to find a car that wasn't a major project, or that didn't have a colourful history behind it.
I guess if you can sell a car for £30+k, spending £15k on a quality restoration of a tired old dog is a good investment, and I'm sure the end result is, in most cases, a decent car. I just always take the claims of being original and unmolested with a pinch of salt when I honestly don't believe there were as many examples of them years ago.

Many years ago I bought Colin Chapmans Mk1 Lotus Cortina and at the time these were pretty hard to come by as most had rotted out or were worth very little. Now theyre everywhere, most being either 1200/1500 deluxe/super models or gt's 'converted'..

Have we had the $15k (and counting) Vauxhall Omega yet?

Ok ok, it’s the Caddy V8 version.. but still.. those interior plastics.
$15k for a 7 litre V8 4-door super saloon with a LSD and 6 speed box seems pretty appealing though https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-cadillac-ca...
Ok ok, it’s the Caddy V8 version.. but still.. those interior plastics.
How much do those go for normally?

There is a 2000 W210 E320 CDI listed for sale on Car and Classic has 55 thousand miles with a genuine AMG bodykit apparently, and 1 owner from new.
Here is the link.
https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1236517
He listed this car for sale around two years ago for 17995 with the fancy wheels, Now has it listed on Car and Classic for 13995 WITHOUT the 'only produced custom wheels in the world' -It would come with the standard AMG monoblocks If this is the case, why would he want to sell the car with them?
What bothers me is the fact that throughout the WHOLE 20 years, looking at the MOT history, there is not ONE single MOT advisory. That I find very suspicious of a 20 year old car, ESPECIALLY the W210 E Class. If you know you know. He doesn't even use it to be honest.
This guy has definitely used the same MOT garage over the years, by bribing them or something.
What also bothers me much is how it's not even a FULL spec E320 CDI, which If it was, i'd understand a little bit, but it's not!
It costs more than an average priced ACTUAL E55 AMG which is a MUCH more special car. - If you know you know.
You would buy this car spending at least 13k for people to look and think, WOW, that's a really clean E55 when in reality, It's a 3.2L turbo diesel engine.
The seller really seems to have a stick up his ass or something, and thinks that we are in like 2008 or something.
Judging by his description of the advert he seems like a very stuck up and greedy person, and his description kind of deters people from buying:
'Please keep your opinions about the car and the price to yourself!' - He knows it's grossly overpriced.
'If your genuinely interested in the car il be more than happy to answer your questions.' - How would he know if i'm genuinely interested in the car? And he should answer people's questions even in they are not 100% interested.
Please no time wasters, only contact me if your genuinely interested in the car and have the funds to purchase. - People asking more questions about your grossly overpriced cars is not time wasting my guy.
I just don't understand this. Why spend an overpriced amount of money on something that only looks like the E55 AMG, When you can buy an W210 E55 AMG for like 4,5,7, or at most 10k and that's a car that seems to be going up in value apparently according to these sellers. But If they are going up in value why sell now?
