Some things unfashionable at the time have now become retro and cool and now have a following.I was comparig a rusty 'sporty' Escort Mexico for £33k to a brand new 1ltr shopping car costing much less. Compare your standard 240 to a 370Z of the same value. I've had both and know what the outcome would be.
What's beautiful about this? Just saying all along that classic values are high.
Yep, as per my original post - a lot sold cheaper than expected.this looked like good value.

Decent money for a 2+2 yes, but shouldn't it really be £25k + when you consider what your really getting for the money, I'd have this all day long over a LHD 280z that needs work, assuming no rot in the 2+2. It doesn't make sense to me why a 2 seater is so much better in most peoples eyes, it isn't. With the modifications on my car albeit fairly standard compared to many, it should be worth around £35k, but it isn't because it's slightly longer and marginally slower........ and!£26k on a Ford Fiesta, your life’s mental …

The 2+2 can be very desirable with a few mods, yours looks lovely. A 2+2 EType is ruined.Decent money for a 2+2 yes, but shouldn't it really be £25k + when you consider what your really getting for the money, I'd have this all day long over a LHD 280z that needs work, assuming no rot in the 2+2.

I see what your saying, but if at the time the circumstances meant a relatively low book value and then likely expensive Nissan parts only for the repair, it probably wouldn't of been written off and we would be none the wiser. So all said and done, really shouldn't make any difference on price today, no?it was a cat D repaired, with the fee's it did well with the marker?

As would a lot of others, which brings the competition down and therefore the overall value.I’d pay less for a cat d car(20%) than a none cat car.
I would say a bargain, with the amount of money it had spent on it over the last few yearsThat Merc 380 for £9k looked good value.

The sale note stated " no reserve" I could not find anything that concerned any issuesthere was a listing/note on it in the auction so its highly likely that there was a massive issue that wasn't in the description.
Sold for £17k. Not to me but what a bargain.To try and make my original point (sensible pricing) if this goes for mid estimate I think it would be a good buy. I find it interesting because of it's history, rarity and rally focus. Body seems reasonable too.
