to me a strange outlet for such a car

 

[Ewan]

It's one of those "continuation" Strads. You know, the ones they built later with too many seats, after they stopped building the proper ones.

 

[Scaf]

Ah, you mean one of those practical ones that has a little more power and a rather fetching additional bonnet scoop -

Whether it's a ManStrad or a LadyStrad, it does indeed some like an unusual place to be selling it. It's in odd company there, John, I agree.

Collectingcars would be the more likely of the online auctions I would have thought but @dickygrace would have been the obvious outlet for such a car... failing which try putting it through Anglia Car Auctions.

2 seaters are not that girly. Some of the drivers may prefer dresses at the weekend, but as an open minded forum we should not give them too much grief........

I would be keen to buy the car, but it’ll probably go for retail money as they often seem to do. The fact that Kaimanns have one up at £86k will give folk an idea that prices are more inflated than they actually are. The car is due a service, is sold with no warranty, has fees on top and is around £75-78k retail.

I'll probably put a cheeky £29k bid on it

 

[Ewan]

I wonder what the reserve is - £65K?

 

[Cyclone1]

Estimate £69k-£79k suggests the seller would be happy in this range. Even at the top end of this then minus fees (circa 5% + VAT), it’d be mid to low 70’s. That’s if bids go that high, given no warranty and reqs a service. If I was in the market I’d be tempted to contact the seller directly and try and agree a direct sale. Mid to high 60’s to v low 70’s could do it…

Oooof! That's luverly!

No fees on The Market for buyers!

 

[MikeyMaser]

It's a shame it hasn't got the same wheels as the Kaimanns one

Ah yes forgot that, reserve will be higher then as sellers’ fees will be astronomical.

Hope it goes for a high value

I’ve bid on a couple of things recently on Collectingcars.com and was the under-bidder on a 944 turbo yesterday evening. Interestingly, on anything I bid on, the other bidders have bought and sold on the platform several times before, so it makes me think it’s traders using this, rather than punters.
I decided not to go too high on the Porsche at it was in France, so not only was I bidding having not seen it, but then I’d have the issue of getting it back, travel passes during Covid times, etc.
Anyway, I think the winner got a bargain.

Now that is a stunning looking car

Dealers can use Collecting Cars, but the sale is then subject to the same rights as if bought from a dealer directly.

 

[MikeyMaser]

I think something like 80% of high value cars are bought on finance so there is only a limited pool of private buyers who would entertain an auction on a £60k+ car.

Always amazes me that stuff on Collecting Cars sells for more than I would attain retail.
