Sounds like a joke but this E Type was discussed in a similar thread 9 years ago. Still for sale with the same dealer at exactly the same price!

It was probably really worth around £70k nine years ago. Ridden through the E Type boom and out the other side and still there!

Incredible.

He needs to understand the basic's of business...one of them being 'stock turn'?

All that money outstanding for 9 years has cost him a fortune.....

JD need to go and see a GP, clearly not well.

Even at full tilt the top price Mk II ever sold was less than that (£255k) https://www.artcurial.com/en/node/1113501

The next most expensive Mk II was sold for less than half that by Bonhams in 2014 https://www.bonhams.com//auctions/21904/lot/18/?ca...

In other words, JD should book in that appointment ASAP

Everyone here is wrong . This is a very realistic price for a MK 2 , in fact quite a bargain I feel.






This has absolutely nothing at all to do with the fact that I own a similar spec car , NOTHING .



But I do fancy a change , think I'll go down to the local Porsche dealer and do him a fantastic deal . A new full spec 992 GT3 and a 100K CASH 'might' make me consider changing .



People here need to wake up...............

I've always wondered how these high end dealers make any profit when their stock seems to take so long to sell. Some I guess might be commission sales, hence not their money that's tied up. I also wonder if some of the stock has already been sold, but left on the website as a hook ("that one's just gone sir but do we have something similar coming in next....etc"). Clearly however they DO survive, so presumably hanging on for the one buyer with stars in his/her eyes and a fat cheque book does actually work.

Given it's chassis number is 201591DN and it was Manufactured in July 1960...


That makes my Mk 2 (Chassis number 200470) waaaaay more valuable.

Perhaps flap its wings, glide, flap wings, glide, flap wings and repeat sequence; that's how they usually fly. HTH.

Yes, yes, yes, but it won't have a bloody passport, you 'tard.

Changing the subject a bit, but more of the same thing. You will find here a Lynx XKSS for sale at the spiffingly cheap price of £375,000:-

The car was auctioned by Bonhams last September as you can see here:-

https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/26494/lot/38/

A slight difference in the price, but nothing of note. This was the first D-type converted by Lynx and is not really a good example, being the third car they made and the first converted. It is not really the correct shape either. But I am sure that will not concern you. It'll still look good at the pub.
