Interesting….the current CC listing shows an invoice from “dreamspec” December 2021 for £68,980

You can see it's had a respray at some point. The masking around the nearside rear quarterlight is less than impressive. There is a paint run just below the front numberplate.

I wish I has used it when I bought my T350. Looking great now after the expenditure of much time and money.

Ouch…once bitten I guess…

My car is still on its original paint… I just accept my car is beautiful at 6 foot, but any closer and the stone chips reflect the creators of the moon.

I went to £55k on it but it went for £61k. For me it was only worth the £59k all in price I bid to.

No engine rebuild and its approaching 30k miles
Its had many years of next to zero activity
Many owners
Its been repainted badly and needs correction
The engine bay needs dry ice cleaning, components replacing, parts sent off for polishing and replacing.
The chassis needs cleaning and repainting
There are large gaps in the service history
Its due a 6k service.
The lights at the rear aren't standard spec and need changing
The light lenses need taking off and fitting properly

So it needs around £6k spending on it to get to a good standard so that will stand the new owner at £71k plus the threat of a £7k engine rebuild.

However someone bought it for £69k a year or so ago from a dealer in this condition. Maybe I'm being too particular.

£80k for a top spec one nowadays, so the new owner has got a bargain if they don't need/want a concourse one like you do

It was good value at £59k all in but not at £65k in my view .. It did look good in yellow with those wheels mind you.

Sorry to hear you missed out on it.

Everyone has their own definitions of values of course. I guess someone else felt 65k was good value.

Apart from that yellow one, the only other Sag sub £65k has best part of 100k miles on it.

Hope you can find one that ticks your boxes

I agree with you on most of the bits but things have moved on from the 2000/1 S6 days, so I'm not sure 26k miles is pushing it without a rebuild.

Agree, 26k is absolutely fine for a late S6.
