Esprit Market Watch

[Loose Cannon]

Had some good news for newer cars today. A friend with a mint GT3 has been offered £20k by a dealer and £22k privately without advertising. This backs up 2 low mileage red GT3s that have sold recently for over £20k and Paul Mattys ultra low mile green one currently on offer for £24k

Good to see a nice G Turbo HC going for decent money:

Cliff - that one must have been just a bit further down the track from ours 

[Sparky]

Anyone got a rendering with a v8 rear wing and a s4s mid way up wing?

Do they look good together

Rendering?  I can show you the real thing.

Yuk.

Bibs, can we have a "Don't Like This" button on the forum please?

Yes, very nice - not too keen on the red interior though. I'm not sure that it goes with silver but that's just me being picky. It's interesting about V8 prices, they seem to have a fairly wide range, from about £23k (what I paid back in January) up to £28/29k.

a MILLION pound for a 360 challenge stradale

This really is the end of the madness then!

£1m?!? Who came up with that asking price, Dr Evil?!

The 360 Stradale is just rubbish compared to the 430 Scuderia which in turn is massively surpassed by the Speciale. 355 is much prettier than the 360 and sounds much better too. Seriously don't get that at all.

[Bibs]

A pal (and ex TLFer) has a 360 CS and a 430 Scud and while pretty cars (esp the Tour De France Blue Scud), they're never £1m's worth of car by a long shot! 

[The Pits]

That 360CS price is a massive mis-print by the way. Top dollar for one is (a still ludicrous) £140k or thereabouts.

[pete]

Still showing at same price

not a mis print the price is genuinely 1million pound

[Vanya]

Can one of us gents please put an Esprit up for a million pounds just to take the piss? 

[Jacques]

And if a few did that..... The Porsche and Ferrari Guys would faint.

Cheers,

Jacques.

[Barrykearley]

It's sounding like a great plan..... Let's get some on for funny money

We could engineer a run on the market!!

[GTK]

I'm in. Mine can go up as "original, for restoration". What do you think, €85k too much?

[LotuStuart]

You've got a point here.

Let's take the late v8's. (No personal interest.... )

1 There's a limited supply.

2 the majority of owners are on TLF (?)

3 if we all agree not to advertise below £45k, that will become the de facto price. If you want a v8, the only supply is priced at a minimum of £45k.

Then we can all sell up. The market will crash and we can buy them back at rock bottom prices!

What could possibly go wrong...

[Barrykearley]

Hmmm - I'm thinking you may well working in the banking sector

Why have some Esprit's never been used?

18,500 miles on an R reg!

[Vanya]

A lot of low mileage cars coming out of the woodwork of late....

[Mark Blanchard]

Yes, they've been around the clock.

[Barrykearley]

Mark - don't look on eBay - there's a more reliable hc non turbo one...
