This must be one of the best condition AC's out there...Been in a collection for years and only 5k on the clock since new...

It's also an auto, which makes it even more interesting.

I do like that, perfect AC!!
Its an auto also, a good buy i feel as they will go up in value & that must be the lowest miler one out there

Do you think so......For me the Auto is at odds with it being a more focused 3200.......Not offence meant Dem as I know you have an Auto....

 

[Emtee]

Is it me or is there an elephant in the room? Yes it's an AC, yes it's very low mileage, but how much?

 

[dem maser]

Dont be silly andy we all have opinions.....
I do feel the 3200 is better suited to auto but i also do see the AC as a sport version so manual makes sense......
Id only buy auto in the 3200 though as the clutch was heavy when i drove one i never liked it, could be just that car......

Hahaha yes its high price but im sure you could have that for just under 20k making it a good buy......ones with 40k are going for 16k

 

[Andyk]

Was thinking the other side of 20 as well Dem.....These are getting very hard to value I would say....

 

[dem maser]

Yes andy if you got it for 19k or 19.5k thats not bad.....
When ones with over 40k are bout 16 or 17k.....

It would help us AC owners if he stuck it up for 25k!! Its a little too close to what id like mine to go for, not the asking price but the 19k.....

 

[Andyk]

I really don't think these are going to drop much as long as they are looked after and the miles haven't been around the moon...

 

[dem maser]

I hope your right.....

A manual will usually be the purists choice for any sports car, which is fine for those with quick reactions and the ability to heel and toe. For the more doddery like me an auto or cambio is an easier option for rapid progress. Still miss my manual AC though.

As for the pirce, it's more realistic than the concours winner that was touted for £40k a year or two ago and I wouldn't be surprised if it found a buyer quite quickly, assuming the history and condition stack up. What price exclusivity with mileage to match?

I'd be very wary of a car that age with such a low milage, things seize up if not driven, did it get its annuals done every year? What a waste of a car sat there doing nothing for 10 years, this car cost close to £70k when new, so hardly a good investment.

 

[dem maser]

A good point made nick......
I was told by every technician that looked at my car that these cars need driving, storing them & doing 10 miles every 2 weeks like i was doing was not good enough.....

Puts my planed sale on hold until it sells bugger......................

 

[GransportFan1]

That is in mega condition. Pretty sad and pathetic the owner has never used the bloody thing.

Puts my planed sale on hold until it sells bugger......................

Thas what i was trying to say peter, at the price hes got it up for it puts your one & others out for now, wish he would put it up higher.....

 

[BennyD]

Nah, he would be into 4200 values then. It just wouldn't work out!

 

[dem maser]

ye your right benny, 20k max is what an AC is worth aint it.............

 

[Maser Sod]

Hey, it could have been driven every day, a mile to the corner shop and back!

Seriously, I bet there have been some long periods where it has sat around and done nothing, I bet the handbrake has seized up more than once!
