What was done to it then to give it such an 'increase in value'? bar patching it up and paint?
Not the last Samuri to come out of hiding and a fresh restoration - I'm sure.
Takes more than just paint to be this special

Ok so Race Head Services were the earliest conversions Spike did - this was done a year before Big Sams storming '74 season(also there was more love in the first 10 compared to the last ten maybe? ?)What ? Please elaborate.
Samuri Web site is in need of update,they were made aware in Dec 2014,and the list has "shuffled 3 times since.I saw 240z at donny, look nice zed but no mention on samuri eu website about it, and I fort It should have stack of history paperwork and I have a letter from spike confirming that it a samuri
can't find anything about it or any old photos
if I was buying it I would like paperwork from spike confirming it is a samuri and it history got have some if been took it racing
All the original Janspeed exhaust,ap brakes, 73 Wolfrace alloys,competition chassis strengthening plates, Tokico suspension etc on a par with FFA....

What's Big Sam worth? Then look at how much of Big Sam is "Original" from the conversion
jaydesscuba said:How much is John Haynes Museum one worth?

It's originality or it's spec or it's condition.

This is not just one of 75 Samuri conversions -

Love that.Yes it does, I took mine (No 77) over to Competa last year to see Spike and hooked up with Win Percy in his (No 76) at the same time. (Win's has air Con.....cooool). My 7 year old daughter missed the Sam so much that she made No 78 and I've sent Spike pictures and he loves it!!!
A second hand car, like a house or an antique, is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Only the buyer can truly justify the cost. the car my daughter made to me is priceless!
Love that.
Also it's actually only worth between what the buyer is prepared to pay and what the seller is prepared to take. You would not get this car from the current owner for £60k+
Oh and the listing/guide price is what barons believe. They would not list it if they didn't expect it to make it.
I think the 260z at Silverstone earlier this year was under-valued guide price - especially as it sold for 55+k

Chassis strengthening using works parts with CA numbers as per competing rally works cars.
I noticed that too, it's been the topic of conversation this weekend at Le Mans. What to spend all our money on when this sells and we then obviously sell our cars immediately for similar and/or greaterThe car in question was listed 'withdrawn' from today's Baron's auction, but it's still present on their ebay classified ad.
So, what would you buy - would you have another Z and pocket/spend the difference ?
Humour, similar to your Samuri part valuation thread, is what we need more of I often think when I visit the forum....Great. Just what the marque needs. More speculation based on speculation, based on a 'valuation' for something that was demonstrably not what it was being described as.
Onwards and upwards then...
