Value of 4.3BV/500??

[dmax]

hello,

My search for a griffith hopefully will end soon, as after a few months of checking classifieds, I have a short list of 4 cars that I will normally go to see in the next 2 weeks in UK.
Thoses 4 cars are "on paper" very good, obviously I will maybe disapointed in checking in real, but so far I feel a serious dilemna could arrive.

In those 4 cars, there is 2 500, 1 4.3 and 1 4.3BV, wich seems to be real ( original invoice, letter from factory confirming the origin...)
So considering a 4.3BV and a 500 (1996), both of them perfect history, both of them i very good condition (very positiv Ingelby report for the BV). Without putting nunbers, do you consider the BV should cost more, around the same, less??

I would expect a true BV to be similar in price to a 500, if not slighlty dearer, even though its a couple of years older. A true BV to me is the better classic buy too (apart for the rarer 4.5BV's that is). All based on them being of equal condition etc.............

Currently that particular 4.3BV costs less than an immaculate 1996 500 BUT in future (10 years or more) the 4.3BV will climb much higher than all other Griffiths, apart from the few genuine 4.5BVs of course.
