The early '70s and in particular 1x mass-produced car manufacturer against another !
"For sale is a beautiful newly nut and bolt restored genuine RS1600 with Matching BDA engine!
This is one of approx 27 LHD cars ever built!.
They made around 900-1100 RS1600 but only a small amount of cars left the factory as left hand drive, confirmed by the owners club.
This car took delivery new to Sicily in 1972 and have lived there until 2007 when it was sold for restoration for £27k.
This RS1600 comes with complete history documentation, documentation of restoration process and many more documents like:
- Original Italian Papers
- FIA Papers
- Many invoices and documents from past which proves the originality
- Automobile Club of Italy Papers
- UK Club registration document
- UK 12 months MOT certificate
hundred photos of the car before restoration, during restoration and after restoration.
Engine
The BDA engine is a LEGEND! Car still has the matching BDA engine and was completely stripped/rebuilt with new bigger forged racing piston, bearings, oil pump, water pump, head rebuilt with new valves etc. As you probably know a BDA engine alone cost an excess of £25k."
£62000
I am not knocking this car or the price he's seeking !
What I am asking is wheter our early Zs remain desperately undervalued and therefore still a bargain for someone wanting a period car (whether for the road or not) in which to enjoy real driving sensations ?
How much are we prepared to pay for an L-engine overhaul (with perhaps a few trick bits) ?
How many cars have their arches flared (but luckily their sunroofs replaced) ?
Just summer banter - don't get personal or too serious.
