Coys Auction 7th Sept

[JK240]

Private sale seemed to be going nowhere, so lets see if this is any better

JK

PS Don't blame me for the adverts text..OK..!!

Good luck with the auction JK, dread to think of what the fee's are.

Perhaps if you're asking top money the car should be detailed to a higher finesse? Sort the rear panel out? Would it not be a worthy investment to attract more buyers?

Cheers Dan, I've a Detailer booked for Monday 4th, and I'm not sure when you last saw the car but the rear panel and slam panel where both addressed last winter

given the auction fees, against what you've been offered for it already, do you think this will be the way to go?

I can't comment on the buyers fees, but certainly sellers fee was very attractive so we will see won't we...

JK, I was thinking it was in this auction - hence my comment at the Gold Cup about it not being listed:

[JK240]

Coys not Bonhams Rob - now they do no how to charge

 

[JK240]

I notice they do have a left hooker for sale though....

Now that is very very nice .

Touch over-restored though, the green one, very nice though it is. Door cards and dashes were never that shiney!

Does it have a dash cover?

Lovely car.

Ok but I LOVE this, so much history, patina, style, character, provenance etc etc

Peter Riley's son Tim has a strong 'association' with Datsun 240Zs too.

 

[JK240]

Just an update, car didn't sell. Never really got started tbh, pretty disappointing experience.

Back to the drawing board.

Sorry to hear that JK. Hope it didn't cost you much (if anything) - not sure how these things work.

Auctions are just about having the right people in the room on the day ... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Cheers, only transport cost, but that's enough trust me...anyone want a nice looking 260Z open to offers

What did the bidding go to?
