MK1 Vitesse (patricks old vitesse)

Post by rovercoup » Sat Apr 08, 2017 7:26 pm

Well looks like trevboy has decided to let this great example of a mk1 vitesse go out into the mad world of ebay. :(

Great shame that a true 800 enthusiast didn't get it from Patrick in the first place because who knows where this car could end up, in the wrong hands thrashed and trashed and end up a scrapper 12 months form now. :( :evil:

Don't worry.Im going to vet the new owner,I'm in no rush to sell and would rather it go to someone who will appreciate the car.I love it in my garage but haven't got room to work on another classic I own.
Ive just logged on to tell everyone it's for sale on eBay as I can't load my photos through photobucket at the moment.So to everyone on here the reserve is 3,500
My other option is my reliant scimitar could go instead,it's a very cool car but if I sell it now I would be losing to much money
If it does sell I will be making a donation to the forum for all the help members have given me
If it doesn't sell I will kind of happy anyway

Well.... at a 2000 quid starting bid I dont think the new potential buyer is likely to thrash it around like a 500 quid banger

I've seen people thrashing around 10K ford focuses, 40K Porsches so 2k isn't a game stopper to someone who has the money that just want's to dabble in the past and thinks its cool to own something retro until they have a few issues and then can't be bothered with it.

Yes I agree that a lot of older motors seem to change hands very often after the novelty factor wears off...
I was tempted awhile back by a 1990s convertible bmw.
Untill I see it said it had 21 previous owners :shock:

Last November on eBay this car struggled to get bids of £1550. A few months later up for sale with a reserve of £3500.
As always the market will determine it's true value. It will be interesting to see if it sells. :shock:

YUM YUM YUM. That couldn't get any better. :D

Saw one at Peterborough BL rally a few years ago, possibly the same car.

It's up to £2050 currently with 2 bids - possibly the second bid is much higher than £2050 but that won't show until more bids are placed. There's still 7 days to run as i type (7d7h) so plenty of time for it to for through the reserve as a lot of cars have recently.

However as mentioned above, the novelty factor might bring the price down - a few people who had the money bought the (alleged) best available when they were on here (or it seemed that way at first glance, we don't know for sure they actually sold because one disappeared from ebay and not sure on the other) so maybe people are being more cautious.
Or perhaps there's no shill bidding going on.

Any or all of these are possible, i hope he gets a good price for it as not only will he be happy but it pushes the value of other peoples cars up as well.

Time will tell! :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave

They've ruined ebay with not being able to see who you're bidding against.

I know shill bidding was happening anyway but you really have no idea who anyone is now.

Yes but can't you report the item
And Ebay can check bidders, addressed and past history.

New accounts are always suspicious
