That car is a bit unique iin that it has always been listed at a seriously marked up price for many years. Its current jump to the latest price just reflects the rise in "real" costs of the rest of the cars.
Don't believe the owner has any real intention of selling as its just a marketing ploy for his garage. Obviously a policy that works as its got the OP raising a thread and creating discussion.

I think you mean the E34 3.8L? I had one of those, with the Nurburg option, and it was a magnificent car, but it would never have the street cred of an LC, and wouldn't be as quick
Prices of B10 BiTurbos are fairly hefty these days though
That's the one - one of the best looking road cars IMHO. Prices of B10 BiTurbos are fairly hefty these days though

Limited supply due to small number's produced and even less around now due to natural wastage shocker ...
Cult car though, seen the prices of old fast fords of late?
Indeed, or old 911s - 6 figure sums are the norm for some of the 80 s onesCult car though, seen the prices of old fast fords of late?
Like you, I'm surprised he's surprised about this
Especially as he's not been living under a rock for the last 5 years

I'm surprised due to the fact they were mid to high £20's only the other year now £100k asking. I'm surprised as it's way ahead of the E34 3.8ltr Nurburgring edition which is madnessLike you, I'm surprised he's surprised about this

E.T.A. Here you go - buy 2 off this link http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/list/29/carlton/
Similar to when a low mileage E30 M3 went for 60k a few years back....you could still get one for 30k or less
Or the low mileage S1 RS Turbo that had a bidding war to 60k ........you can still get an S1 RS for a third or less of that
Also, you have to bear in mind it's being asked for......the 100k.....hasn't achieved it yet

It was £29,000 about 6-8 years ago and then increased over the years.
Perhaps he wants to keep it unless he gets an offer he can't refuse hence the price tag.

Mad price.....
No-one has bit my hand off for one with 40 K miles at £30 K
So back into storage it goes for another winter.
Where did you advertise that, I have been looking for the right LC for sometime and have just bought one. If I had seen one for sale at £30k with 40k miles I would have ripped your arm off...No-one has bit my hand off for one with 40 K miles at £30 K
So back into storage it goes for another winter.
