Dunkield Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Cars that weren't all that in their day, and cocequently not bought in big numbers can get very rare and therfore worth a bit of money to some collectors. Last time up the Ace Cafe there was a Triumph Herald Estate, as the owner said 'when was last time you saw one?' Mind you there was an equally rare Austin Princess there as well :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I was a motor trader in the early 80s so I got to drive loads of so called classics of the 60s & 70s. Trouble is I'm over 6ft 3in so the only ones that I look back on with affection were all bigger cars, My Merc 280 stacked head lights, Rover V8 Vitesse, XJ6 4.2 .......... If only we knew then, what we know now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I love the AC Cobra look at THIS one , think i will need a lottery win before i buy one, not as flush as you £100,000 for a repro, imagine how much real ones are there days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 £100,000 for a repro, imagine how much real ones are there days Cheapest i can find on the net is £255,000 ono and that is quite an old advert Carol Shelby's own one sold at auction for £2.6 millon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapest i can find on the net is £255,000 ono I do know someone who has (or did 12 months ago) a genuine Cobra. It's in the Midlands and may possibly be for sale. It will fetch SERIOUS money as it's absolutely mint if anyone's interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Frightening isn't it, by all accounts the total value of the grid at the final race at last years Goodwood Revial was over £80 million. Not sure what that values became after this.... name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="480" height="385"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) i've always wanted an AC COBRA and as soon as i get a place with enough space i'll have a more serious think about one I had a BRA 289 about 25 years ago. That kit was one of the first "fake snakes" around in the UK, and to my eyes far nicer than the 427 shapes that followed. Based on MGB GTV8 running gear on a simple ladder chassis and powered by a Rover V8/Crane cam/Holley 4-barrel downdraft on Offenhauser manifold. Oversteered terribly but was very good fun.

There are some good replicas out there for more sensible money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwest_colonel Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Well, if I can ever be bothered to get a car, this would be my first choice, a TR4A (would be very nice if it was in this colour combination too): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
