looks very nice in the photos, possibly shows that if you need to sell at the moment that is all you can get?

nice looking car - good time to buy and a bad time to sell.

Yes, spotted that one. Looks really smart.Wouldn't mind going to see it as it is only 35 miles away. Perhaps I'd better not :?

The only thing I would say Stu is that its a waste of time bidding untill the last few minutes,my thinking on why no one has bid yet.At a guess I reckon theres a few people out there hoping they might get this car at under eight grand,playing it cagey.

I had a stagin the mid eightiesregistered in May 1973 although the tax exemption class wasnt running then I still had the chassis number writ down and out of curosity I checked if it would have qualified for tax exemption,it was built well into 73,so I reckon this car must be one of the last tax exempt examples being registered in April 73.

Ijust looked at that also and thought it was cheap as well - but then when you consider i paid less than 2k for my car i suppose it is about right in the current market.

That does look nice, even clean under the bonnet. 6 days left to run on the auction so my guess is it will go up a bit in price. Like the colour and tax exempt thats a bonus. Good job its not nearer to me.

As enthusiasts, I sometimes think we have an over-inflated view of the value of our cars. Personally I think this one looks pretty good in the photos, but i'v seen plenty of shoddy cars look great in pictures .

I actually think the starting price is pretty high :?

Yikes, the work I am having done on my Stag is going to cost more than that!

not wishing to tell anyone about sucking eggs i have had stags on and off for 20 years and the amount that look fab in photos which are shall, we say dissapointing in the metal is numerous.

everything has a price if your house dont sell in 6 months its to dear. market values will always win through.

on the stag front i think too many survive to make them really go up in values, but that is the reason parts are so cheap for them because of the numbers surviving.

wish i had not sold ol' yella though.
