Agree a lot of car for the money as long as you have a rainy day fund

Andy, mine cost next to nothing to run over 2 years and 7k miles. It was a late low mileage car with full main dealer history so I guess that is the clue. I would not buy a pre '06 car based on driving and my experience. The cars are a huge contrast to drive. It is getting hard to find them but I am sure there are some.

A later one would have to be "twice as good" because they seem to be about double the price ... at least on this one:

I don’t see it like that at all, I see that you buy a different model at the price point rather than saying, well I need to spend £75-85k on a late car.
At £40-50k there’s lots of options, but sadly not good Ferraris. For a good Ferrari it’s around £55-60k and up for a 360 or a 612. Anything else that is particularly good is dearer, such as F430, Cali T, FF etc.
Aside; I may have one due in a few weeks in the late £50k’s which is a later ‘06 car.

Unusual Bianco Fuji Quattroporte for auction. I seem to recall it’s been up before, although I also recall one with a red interior which was a *** import, so might be mistaken.

RHD late Merak SS sold today for £43k +premium.
1983 Maserati Merak SS
The Maserati Merak was introduced in 1972, essentially a lighter version of the Maserati Bora. It substituted an all-new Maserati designed quad-cam, three litre, V6 motor for the Bora's larger V8; resulting not only in a lower cost but with room for a small back seat and better handling due to...

And good to see the 3200 making £16,800 ... a very strong price in the current climate for a car with 65k on the clock. Maybe 3200's are making a (much deserved, IMHO) comeback(?)!

This was cheap. It’s one of the best in the country and is easily worth more. But as with any auction, it’s just what happens on the day.
I was there with the intention of bidding/buying it. But a little earlier in the auction, something else cropped up that I couldn’t resist!

Without this, I’d have gone toe-to-toe with the bidder on the Merak, so the price would have gone higher (at least by a little, just depending on our respective resolves!).
Bottom line, the Merak buyer got a steal, and well played them. Hopefully they’ll love it, as in real life, it looked absolutely fabulous.

Are you the new owner of the Lamborghini?

That was a nice car, @Guy knows it. Emblem maintained. Late car in the best colour combo.

Delighted for my friend's widow! We feared it might fall into the usual 3200 trap at 7k.

Yep. Collected it this morning, and have just arrived home. So that’s the first 100 miles done!
