Is it me or are people getting a tad greedy, I wish my Corsairs were worth that much.

[Mk 1 Mark]

Your right but in saying that i was offered alsmost as much as that for mine.....

And thats only a genuine GT.......With the wrong engine in it ect lol

What makes you say it's not a genuine lotus? Do you think that's Terry from the Lotus Cortina Spares Centre selling it?

 

If it's genuine Lotus (replica Alan Mann car), the price is alright isn't it?

[lotusless]

if thats terry from l.c.s.c he has a long drive home

from somerset to romford in essex

i'm not saying its not a nice motor just if i was selling

a gen mk1 lotus (alan mann rep) i would put gen lotus

shell in the ad! so i dont think it is, + yes i suppose its

worth whatever someone pays for it

[lotusless]

thanks slappy. no its not mine but i did drive it on

last years ltb run. its my mates motor but he lets me

use it (very nice bloke) he will be coming to a few

meets this year too. but i have had a few consul capri's

here's a couple of em

 

SORRY THESE PICS ARE SMALL

 

this was the white one when i bought it..

[Toby]

 

Love that!!

 

They looks so different that low - really American styling.

[slappy]

cheers lotusless, some very nice cars, I will ask my mate if it's ok to put some pic's on.

[MightySprocket]

wow, i do like them classic capri's, never really looked at one before, the roof line to rear quarters looks fast when its standing still!

[lotusless]

thanks for the comments chaps. i lowered the green one

so much i couldn't get it off my drive

so i had to raise it up a bit, the pic is after so you can

imagine how LOW it was . they do look fast standing

still + they were designed by a yank. + sorry sprocket

they are consul capri's not classic capri's

the classic was the one with the anglia style rear screen.

[slappy]

Hi lotusless, I just remembered looking at the pics of the roofline a guy I know is building a corsair with a Capri roof a Corsair fastback looks real strange.

[lotusless]

[Toby]

Anyway

 

23 hrs to go and counting..........tick toc tick toc

[Guest MK1gaz]

[lotusless]

thanks m8 ive just found out the guy i sold

it to about 7 years back has just died

+ it's for sale for £4k i think.

[X-pack-Glyn]

Is it me or are people getting a tad greedy, I wish my Corsairs were worth that much.

 

Greed or stupidity, iether way it will drive the classic ford scene under, and it will all become a victim of its own success...

 

At the end of the day its just an old ford and now prices are just getting silly theres much better stuff you could buy.

[Lotus-Eater]

The Alan Mann replica started out as a 1200 Deluxe with bench and column change. However it is a totally immaculate never welded shell with the chassis number still on the strut top mounting and has been built pretty much "no-expense-spared" and has lots of great parts.

As to whether its worth the final price.....well it obviously IS....to the person who bid that for it!

Value on all these old cars is totally subjective - they are worth precisely what someone is willing to pay for them at that particular time, no more and no less. There is no "book price".
