Values of R129's

[CHRIS STARKEY]

What do you think about the future value's of the old R129 series?
I have a 1990 one which I was trying to get £4000 for but I have recently seen quite a few at around £2000 !
These were fetching £10,000 a few years ago!

Its all down to condition and spec I think but you're right, prices are at an all time low so it is a buyers market.

Top condition cars with the right spec still command sensible money from what I've seen though.

Those £2k examples are tired examples needing money spent on them.

The good news I guess is that their value can only go up.

Yup. We vaguely considered selling our 129 as it's not used much, but with prices as they are it's not exactly a big asset so think we'll be hanging on to it for the foreseeable future. Costs little per year to keep it - tax, insurance and servicing are all pretty reasonable. So keeping it isn't really a huge extravagance.
