Beautiful ....... they don't make them like that any more !!

Almost a shame to drive it .....

The same car is on Autotrader with a price tag of £13,995 (i think)

 

[pammy]

does look a lovely car and it is the same one on Autotrader - not a provate sale but a trade sale but guess he's concerned he won't get the exposure from his local company.

If anyone's intrested and they want me to go and have a squint at it - be happy to help

It's a beauty.

Pammy, what you really mean is
"I want to look at this car, someone please give me permission...."
Go on then....

Nice, but a hard colour to sell and definitely not worth £14k. Can't see anyone paying more than £9k.

Also appearing in ME p95.
And there was me thinking the colour is gorgeous
He's certainly bummin' it up big style - I wouldn't expect a single flaw in it for that kinda dosh!

 

[stats007]

I'm not saying the colour isn't nice - but you're either going to look like Dale Winton or Peter Stringfellow. The choice is yours!

Like it

 

[andy_k]

it looks superb and with mileage as low as that it should be.

whether or not somebody will think it's worth the money, only time will tell.

how do you value a car that's averaged about 30 miles a week since the day it was built yet serviced nearly every year (2000 mile intervals) whether it needed it or not ?

I don't think he's being too unreasonable with the price.

You value a car by what people will pay for it - usually based on the price that similar cars have sold for.

 

[Thmsshaun]

Stunning. Like the colour too.

Oy Stats, my 500SL is Almandine!!

Its a nice colour. But then I'm a tad biased.

[stats007]

I did say the colour was OK - just that they're harder to sell as fewer people find them attractive - that was the point about the car not making £14k.

 

[aka$h]

I think Almandine with beige is the best colour combo on an SEC, this car looks the business! £14k is over the top mind.

Nice, but a hard colour to sell and definitely not worth £14k. Can't see anyone paying more than £9k.

My opinion is it's the best colour combination and sensible money

Winning bid £13600

Nice car BUT I would not pay that sort of money for it. I used to own a 126 saloon that was in showroom condition 280SE (well speced) 1984 with just over 20000 miles (,y father owned it from brand new before I had it). It was a lovely car and I sold it for 5K last year (prior to sale) I had a 36000 mile service carried out on it by stealer and spent £1800 on it...

They are lovely cars BUT have to be treated with the utmost respect. I nearly lost it on a bend on a dual carriage way at 90MPH on a bend...

 

[stats007]

I'll be surprised if the auction gets completed - there's an '88 63k immaculate 420 SEC for £4,500ono - 1 owner FSH / garaged etc.

Maybe someone fell in love with it, however.

 

[MangoMan]

What a 'Beaut'......!!!

Wish I had the money !!!

I reckon it will go for a whole lot more than what it is now.

Lovely....
