You have nothing more to catch on? It had to be rusty from factory or restoration? Shiny like that….
Its a great looking car.

What’s wrong with your screen to make it look safari gold!?

Just had another look through the pics - what a car … I thought my steering wheel was shiny till I saw the mirror-like bowling ball finish on this one …

Have another glass of chianti and calm down - just wondering if you'd have it treated/coated ?You have nothing more to catch on? It had to be rusty from factory or restoration? Shiny like that….

Tax and charges on top or included ?
Tax on top. As far as i heard - Goes to Switzerland, bid over phone… That car costs was close to 50k £
Oh well - at least i warned the owner and told him it will not sell good in UK (good - to his needs).

Exactly.

Wow. Having seen the car in person, I reckon it would sell easily on Bring-A-Trailer for 100K+ USD.
Ticks pretty much all of the usual BaT boxes: Early production, 99.5% stock, super high quality restoration in factory colour etc etc.
There's a brown '73 HLS30U on BaT right now which is already bid up to 70K USD with a day left to run, and it is nowhere near the same quality (blue-painted oil pan?!).
Wrong place, wrong time.

wrong time financially to sell a car. into a recession, 10% inflation, no cheap money for borrowing.
The owner should have sat on it.

Can’t believe that … wow! Can’t believe that didn’t get bid way, way higher.
Well I saw this, loved it but dismissed it because it was LHD and I really don't have storage now. If I'd known it was going for £35k I may have been interested (and pay for remote storage). However I expect prices to fall for a couple of years so to be an investment ( can't really use it much, it's too clean) It would need to be worth £40k+ in two years. Anyone got a crystal ball?
I think I'd rather spend that sort of money on a new car and enjoy it every day?
My previous Zs - 3 x 240,1 x 260, 350 and 370 have all been driven regularly. My current Honda CB750K is used regularly too, 1000 miles in 5 months.
Perhaps other people are thinking the same?

My crystal ball says that this car will loose less in two years than a new car, and provide more enjoyment driving every day.
Yes of course it will lose less but there is a balance to be had.

Stop thinking as a post-Brexit victim - this is a LHD car and the rest of Europ isn't in a recession.
S30s will only continue to rise in value as demand continues ; I was visited today by a guy, 29yrs old, looking to begin a Z project.
