Back for Sale

[GransportFan1]

I seem to remember this car was up for sale about 2 years ago, with around 6000 miles, they were asking about 45K for it?

Not sure about the pricing of this one Adam, can't remember it...
But have been keeping my eye on the classic market and prices have definately firmed...

Well i know Meridien had a Silver Merak for sale about 2-3 years ago because there was one for sale when i visited and it looks identical; and yes prices to seem to be firming up although this is an SS model.

I was looking at a '75 246 Dino (not to buy...but I know the seller and who restored it)...
was up for 125K 12 months ago...now it's 145k
I know it hasn't sold yet, and ultimately it is only worth what someone is willing to pay...
but, that's not the only example.

Why not to buy a 246 Dino, possibly the prettiest Ferrari ever made, and your right about the prices, 10 years ago, you could have one for 40K, but £145K it must be in concourse condition.

I agree, beutiful cars and I would love one...but way out of my league.

i would have a 246 GTS in Yellow with Tan leather.

they are going up..i said that on another thread...

Adam,

I think you may be right about that Merak. I too remember it, a very late one with low miles in silver.

 

[GransportFan1]

it had 6000 miles on it i think and was up for about 50k, previous owner has used it a little which is good.

My friend had a 246 GTS in red which had been totally restored. He grew bored of it and sold it about two years ago for £60k........ bet he is kicking himself now

That Merak I bet is one of the best available but OMG it is expensive

 

[GransportFan1]

i prefer the Bora to a Merak, Bora's done come up for sale often and Urby, that Dino would be worth about 90K now maybe even 100+ if in concourse condition.

Adam

He had a choice of keeping the Dino or his Aston Martin DB7 Zagato.............he chose to keep the Aston

 

[GransportFan1]

That is actually a beautiful car IMO, probably one of 2 nice cars built buy Zagato, it is a shame that the interior is the same on a normal DB7.

 

[dem maser]

was never a fan of the db7...it could be the dunhill one i saw that put me off

 

[Team GCR]

i prefer the Bora to a Merak,

Good man

The Dino is the sexier car but the Zagato is the rarest with only 99 having been built

 

[GransportFan1]

Good man

What i prefer about the bora is that the merak has those sloping bars on each side whereas on the bora, it has the same, but a sheet of glass inbetween them which looks better IMO and the engine is visible on the bora but on the merak.
