Re: 'Bargain Dino' anyone?
We've seen it Mick. (thread on this forum)
I'm guessing £75,000.
It should only be worth what you've suggested, but you know what happens?

Almost speechless......The phrase 'more money than sense' springs to mind.

They mention the housing market being overheated but what about the classic car market? I remember the crash in the classic and exotic market a fair few years ago, wasn't pretty...

The thing that I find fascinating is that there must be at least two folk with that money as well.....

I think the lower end of the market is not so affected, for example the pricing on Betas is not so different to what it was a few years ago, so I think if/when it happens it will be the guys who have plenty of money who will suffer, unless you have mortgaged the house of course...

Attachment 6526I reckon 308GT4s are there way to go; now there's a bargain Dino - I just bought this one from a cake shop in Northumberland - giallo fancy slice...

Relatively speaking I suppose, but I bought a genuine 19,500 mile one in 2002 for £14k. You'd need all of £25k to get one like that now.

I've just had a look at prices from July 1990.
Dinos were never into three figures, even then - maybe £90k tops. By comparison, Daytonas were around £225,000.
Interestingly the C and Sportscar issue I looked at has two colour adverts for UK Stratos. One is Roger Perry's blue (you know the one?) advertised at £110,000, and Karl Ludvigsen's Stratos at £105,000. Those would have been big prices at that time. There is also an advert for that yellow Dino engined Hawk at £35,000. Ten years after that, you could pick up a real Stratos for £35,000.

The GT4 is no where near as pretty as the 206/246 but it does have a certain wedgy 70s charm and I think, like the Fiat Dinos - especially the 2400 Spider which is a fantastic car and only 424 made- look undervalued when compared to the £300k Dinos which were more numerous, but I do agree, it has all become a bit silly!
