Coupe prices - what's happening?

[williamsmix]

Likewise the vintage market has seen a cataclysmic drop in recent years, and your right it will eventually come our way without doubt ,

I think it maybe starting to creep up on us already, which would go some way towards explaining current price trends / difficulties in selling … It’s a result of the growth in “environmental awareness” and the changing public mindset towards hydrocarbon fuelled vehicles.

Savers gone from earning virtually nothing to 5% + in the building society isnt helping the classic market

Market is still depressed... I suspect the very cheap ones have just come off the market.

You could well be right. Car and Classic just successfully auctioned a nice-looking 2002 Spyder for £14,250.

With the (unjustified) bad rep Maseratis have for reliability people will be reluctant to spend a lot on something they’ve not give a run up the road. The market isn’t in the shape it was in 3 years ago, both these things keep auction prices down imho.
What is justified criticism at Maserati, a clutch for a 4200 is about £1400, similar vintage Porsche 996 911 clutch £280. Both these cars were similar price when new.

Looks nice but that front number plate is just wrong and must have been put on after the MOT test.

Totally different clutches mate the F1 clutch is Race technology of that era a lot more expensive to manufacture.
10 years ago I paid £1500 for the oil/water pump unit for my 04 4200 but again it's a trick set up for the dry sumped engine.

Good to see them reaching good money, that’s a lot for a 64k mile early spyder at auction.

Yes, I think it is ... this one, which is lower mileage, just went for £11,200 incl. fees: https://auctions.doreandrees.com/ca...f266d/classic-cars-the-spring-auction-lot-14/

What’s wrong with it? That’s getting near scrap value!

Not a lot…

 

[philw696]

That's a very cheap 4200 indeed.

 

[philw696]

Not done lots of miles in the last 10 years and the last couple of MOT tests okay.

Yeah … if you’re feeling lucky it could be one to go for(?)!

Can't believe they could get much lower as previous advisories must have been dealt with so it's had some attention.
