RE: [MarcosManiacs] Re: selling my 1971 V6 steel tube frame 4 speed spyder

2006-05-15 by Garry Diver

Don is correct. Because there are so few in the US it is difficult to show a 
trend in prices. The going rate for good condition early steel frame cars in 
the UK is around 7K pounds ( about $13,000) . However I was at an auction in 
England in Feb. and a '69 3 Ltr with a similar racing spec to mine sold for 
around 16,000 pounds ( about $30,000). Early wood frame cars with a racing 
pedigree are selling for 35,000 pounds ( $70,000) as they are still winning 
races. On the other hand the rarity value is greater here in the US which 
should help values somewhat.
One suprising fallout of my racing the 3ltr. this year has been the interest 
from others in buying one to race. Even though we have not had much success 
so far, the car has been on the front cover of two vintage racing magazines 
so that may be a route to sell your car. Send me some pictures if you would 
be interested in trying to sell it to the racing community.
