Because if you start the value train from the bottom, the top cars lose out. Where would you rather start the scale, from a tatty, running, MoTd 240Z that is advertised at £4500 or from a really amazing 240Z that sold at £40,000?
It probably makes the difference of a good, solid car selling for > £20k or £30k+
Other marques don't suffer this as much I don't think. I remember a friend who was really into old Beetles. Back then, the general rule was that any Beetle on black plates, with an MoT, regardless of general condition, was £2000.
Ultimately, the value of 240Zs is in OUR hands. There are enough of us who know one another to agree the value. What does a classic car mag know about the value of a 240Z? It knows what WE sell them for.
I think the 240Z is one of the best classic cars out there, especially in terms of bang for buck and it's a bit of a rarity. I just think it's about time that was reflected in the known values.
