[ROVERNET - UK] RE: Market update

[Winchester, Miles]

Bill,

I would agree with what you say, but there are some model Rovers attracting
higher prices. A couple of Rover 3.5 Coupes for sale, click on link below,
prove that certain models can appreciate.

Even this P3 75 sounds ok

I guess some are missing the point..........The seller feels his car is 
probably worth $15,000.............Looking at other classic sedans he may 
not be out of line in his thinking...........However in the real world 
Rovers would rarely reach this............Yes the cost of replicating it 
would be much higher.............A chap from San Diego is having his 67 
Rover 2000TC rebuilt with a nut and bolt restoration up here at the world 
famous Guild of Restoration.........and he will have spent well over 
$100,000.00 when it is complete..(yes you read correct).......Will the car 
ever be worth more than say for arguments sake $10-15,000 
..........NEVER.........cost of restoration never ( yes in some cases with 
really popular or rare  models) reflects the cars value when it comes to 
sell it...............THE GOLDEN RULE  for selling is that you can ask 
whatever you want , depending how badly you have to sell 
it...........Whether you find a buyer at your price is largely dependant on 
how badly they want it...................Too bad Rovers rarely are sought 
after by well heeled buyers................only real enthusiasts like us
