280 se 3.5

[aycee]

Is it me or are these becoming a bit over priced due to Auction fever?

I mean 280 3.5 convertible or gullwing what would you chose.I know which direction id be buying for not much more money.

Now there seems to be quite a few appearing at auction to jump on the band wagon.

Even the 190 seems to be hotting up pricewise.

What with e type fever coming to an end

Im not convinced on either the 280, 190 nor the overpriced ,over-common E type.

It's not you. Seems to me the classic market is overheating rapidly. This time round it's not the top end stuff (Daytonas and the like still cheap compared with 1989) so much as the humdrum every day stuff. Which means more people will get burned. You can tell it's overheating because (1) ordinary old cars are fetching crazy money and (2) journalists and pundits everywhere are hailing classic cars as a can't-possibly-go-wrong-investment.
