Apologies, seems it was 2.24v. Did have a nice Ghibli II manual in 2.0 V6 form

The prices seem crazy high compared to what we would expect here in the UK. But it looks like a great event to attend. If you need a wingman next time, let me know

Sure man, I’ve already booked the hotel and the dates have been announced for next year 20-23 October.
I’d like to buy a one-way plane ticket and drive back, that’s the plan. Depends how good a year I have… anyone need any copywriting? Ahem
As for prices, well when you compare them to similarly aged and similarly rare Astons with similar performance, they’re pretty comparable and still in most cases cheaper. The UK market, particularly for Biturbo era cars, has always been undervalued, comparatively. There was a bit of show inflation- someone was trying to punt a 156 GTA SW for €42k

It will also be the 2.0 V6 manual (in Italy) rather than an export 2.8.
let me see if I can dig out the seller of the blue one above

It looked pretty good to me and it was in a nice shade of green. The Racing nearby from the same dealer was good too.
He had quite a few Biturbos/Ghiblis to choose from, plus a brace of 75s, one V6, one Turbo. Oh and a Brabus C-class…

Love the Racing but could live with a 2.24v

I’ve looked, regularly do to see what’s for sale on Mainland Europe. Three on Mobile.de

€34900, €39900, €38500. All 2.8 GT’s.

One of them duplicated on AutoScout24 and the Primatist ‘Tribute’ mentioned earlier in the thread.

I seem to have noticed a widening of the price gap between GTs and non-GTs over the past year in continental Europe. Non-GTs are still available at more or less pre-Covid prices, but GTs have taken off, so much so that the most expensive ones are now almost twice the price of some non-GTs.

I'm sure GTs are mechanically better in all the familiar ways, but are they really twice as good? For those of us itching for a Ghibli it seems to me the thing to do right now is either wait it out or buy a non-GT. That's what my man maths is telling me anyway...

It has the lovely wheels from the GT. And it’s a manual, and being the 2 litre, has more bhp than the 2.8 litre. So a good car, I’d suggest. But still expensive by UK standards. About 25 years ago I bought a very similar one, but with lower mileage, for £15k (imported by David Askew).
