Collecting Cars auction results

Incidentally, I was surprised this beauty didn't sell, and also that the top bid was just £62k - https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1964-jaguar-e-...

I could be chatting st but I read somewhere that E-type values closely track the prevailing economic climate. Something to do with there being so many of them made and still in use.
So perhaps not entirely surprising. They do seem to vary massively in asking price.

Series 1's have shown up from anywhere around £30k to £100k for very similar cars over the past four years. Wonderful wonderful car to drive.

Only if you have size 6 feet and a demountable left leg for long journeys.

The view up the bonnet is the dogs though

I reckon £62k is probably about right for a series 1 FHC in the current market. It’s the wrong colour, so factor in a good repaint and it’s all the money.

I agree it seemed like a fair price especially if you zoom in on the sills and underneath which has quite a bit of rust..

Well, I had a trader offer me £65K for my Series II last week (which I dismissed out of hand!) so I'd say a good series 1 is worth way more.
Thing is, without looking VERY closely it's hard to distinguish the best from the merely superficially smart and the former will be worth twice the latter. I'd never buy one sight unseen unless it was really cheap and worth a punt which is why I suspect this one didn't sell.

And later S1s and SIIs are much more comfortable to drive than the earlier cars like this one. I've done non-stop 2-300 mile trips in mine with no comfort issues at all.

I’d lobe an E Type....think they’re stunning but buying something like that without a proper inspection is just daft. Really think a third party PPI would be money well sent for a seller on CC with this kind of car.

Still on the subject of E Types isn't this simply the most gorgeous thing ever..

If it was a series 2 fixed head I wouldn’t have dismissed it!

Completely agree on the difference between absolute minters in peak fettle, and everything else, but this looked like a £60-70k car to me. Throw £20k+ at it and you may get your money back but you’re only 1 hidden horror away from a loss.

Also agree, that the later S1 and S2 are more comfortable but early cars have a certain something. I even prefer the early seats (that get slated) because you actually feel like you’re sitting in the car rather than on it!

Who buys exceptionally rare luggage for a LaFerrari? Under what circumstances would that happen? You had just enough for the car but couldn’t stretch to the bags? Schedoni were very canny to produce a few spare sets.

74k all in for the 540c seems fair for a 4yr old car out of warranty...

Genuinely thought it would struggle to make 70k including fees.

Next interesting result will be the LHD 997.1 GT3 RS, especially considering there is an unsold one on the open market.

Anyone viewing the market.co.uk as well?

I agree....think it’s just stunning. Listened to a Podcast the other day with one of the guy’s who has been with Eagle from the beginning....some of the engineering effort they go to is ridiculous !

I thought the bidding would of been far stronger on this one, been slow to get it up to £65k. Still two days left mind, wouldn’t shock me if it jumps at the end as their is plenty of watchers.

It’s auction fever, there was a beautiful white LHD RS in the classifieds for about six months last year. It apparently sold but the asking price was only £89k.

There’s an orange LHD one on the open market even now at £87k.

At least those two cars will come with some form of warranty.

Still achieving strong sales....

The 36k mile tdf F355 made 95k including fees!

[p1stonhead]

£150k excl fees for a Scuderia seems really good?

Beautiful car but big money. Mate of mine had a 355 Spyder in TDF with Tan interior back when they were new....stunning car.
