Thanks for your feedback - keep it coming.
Going to aim to take a good look at the car on my way past next time. Had a quick look at it a couple of years ago as it lives in a small town (literally one horse) that I drive through a bit. Didn't see a lot of rust at first glance and it ran well. Brakes needed attention though.
@Aussiecsi makes a couple of interesting points. Not many of these cars in Australia (that I've found) that can compare prices and value against and I wouldn't want to over capitalise. There's also the not so small matter of another major car project that starts this year - on top of moving house/job etc.
I do wonder if these cars are bits of sleepers in terms of appreciation and value? I base this on the following:
1 Classic European marques, especially coupes, all seem to be seeing rising values.
2. Beta's seems to have more rust issues than E9's (so Iv'e read) and a lot have been lost so there's a rarity factor.
3. I hear they go like a rocket.
4. Aesthetically pleasing design, (but not when compared to an E9).
Probably over analysing here but you look at E9's, 911s and a heap of other period European stuff and they are not at a price point where the cost of entry is too high for most people. That seems to be driving people to look at lower value cars either within the same stable or from the same period. if that logic rings true that interest and demand for all period luxury European cars (especially coupes) will only increase.
This may be a Forum first
