Cerbera price points

[Byff]

The "past it's best" thread has made me think about price points.

For a totally fubar'd Cerb, I'd reckon around £8k

Still running with horrendous paint/interior (chassis rotten) and/or (engine troubles) around £10k

Still running with good paint/interior (chassis rotten) or (engine troubles) around £12k

Runs well with good paint/interior but (chassis) or (engine) niggles £14k

Runs well with good paint/interior no problems £16k

Totally restored £18-20k

Add +£4k if it's a mk2 or red rose.

Opinions?

You wouldn't get a decent red rose for 24k....

I paid £16k for a good 4.5 over 2 years ago. Prices seem stronger now than then.

These points are probably OK for a car from a dealer but 10-20% higher than a private sale.

That wouild bring mine in on about the right price. Part of the reason was that I bought on condition and disregarded the lack of any service history as I could see the car had been well looked after. As quite a few of the better Cerbs are owner maintained you need to be able to look at the sellerand the car and decide whether you trust the maintenance.

One other point is that I would pay at least an extra £2k for a car that had been garaged all its life. I didnt even bother to look at cars that had moss and a visible tideline around the boot hinges.

So in your opinion - what would a red rose fetch?

Maybe I need to change my last part a bit to as stated for 4.0 & 4.2 and +£2-3k for a 4.5 and +£4-6k for a red rose/mk2?

Personally, I wouldn't want a garage queen as I use mine every day so it wouldn't stay like that. However, tideline and moss would be a fubar category and broken as parts - it'd be worth £8k.

Late last summer I purchased a 4.5 that has been fully restored inside and out, with a str8six full engine rebuild - chassis original solid condition for around 21k. Every mot, invoice etc since birth.

At the height of summer I would expect to see great condition ones circa 25k IMO

Redrose 30k?

What about a cat c car? Say for example a cat c mk2 with a full restoration. I'm currently restoring mine. It will have stripped and powder coated chassis, new paint, new interior etc. just wondering as to how the cat c marker will affect value considering its condition is going to be better than new? Not that I'm going to sell it of course!

Bought mine seven years ago for £5400... Good chassis but 5/10 paint (Lacquer peel)
I reckon it's about £11-12k worth now.

You see a few Cerbs in need of attention on EBay that go for around 5k or so. They range between nackered engine, chassis gubbed or accident damaged.

Obviously Glen bucks the trend by adding a few extra thousand on for his cars.
