Firstly hope all the air cool fans are well and still holding on to their cars
Just had a look at the classifieds and came across these two cars

what have i missed and why the sudden price hike???

If I recall correctly the Cobalt car sold about 12 months ago at same place for £43k so quite an upturn in value. Ambitious but looked to be a very nice car in rarer colour. I'm led to believe the market in the Far East helps drive the prices for these cars up. Interesting.

I had a white 3.3t which went to HK two years ago
Just surprised at the market
price(was not long ago when you could buy a 3.6 for £65k)

The 3.6 market seems to be £75-85k for regular nice examples with really low mileage one's nudging £100k from the adverts on PH lately, obviously that doesn't mean they sold at advertised price but trend is heading upwards quickly.
Am I correct in assuming there were 48 3.6 models for UK versus 2000+ of the 3.3 models ??

Not too sure on the build numbers on the 3.3 but the 3.6 was in low numbers
As for the 3.6 not too long ago (3/4 months) there was lhd in the classifieds asking price £110/115k and it sold
I am sure the usual suspects will post the correct build numbers for both 3.3 and 3.6

Do you still have the Red 3.3 Rocco it looked a very nice example? I recall one of the nicest 3.3's I've seen was Kayc white 3.3 with 3.6 speed lines on looked fantastic but I think he sold it circa 18months back £39k ish.
I guess good cars are commanding a premium in this sector now.

[Rocco1]

Yes still have the red 3.3 still looks like new with 25000 miles
I sold my white 3.3 few months before ken c and his car was immaculate too
I sold mine for £40 or £42k

I have a nice 3.6 which I bought just over 3 yrs ago, quite amusing watch the prices skyrocket as would not sell so academic really, but nice to know your wedge is appreciated.

I believe it is the only UK car in that colour.

So it's the very car that Tiff drove in the Top Gear review
