    This is going rate. Some would say "at last!".
    But for a car that's not properly registered Chris?

    Come on, Guy, have you misplaced your rose-tinted specs?

    I think us lot in the SEC are too close to the cars, and what it takes to build one etc., to see them as others do. We're still looking at them like we did 10, 15 years ago... we need to step back a bit and see the bigger, up-to-date picture. A "real" Stratos is now a highly-desirable and very expensive car. And a Hawk is seen as being the next best thing by many people out there, so £36K is a bargain in comparison (only 10% of the genuine article!). Also, you only have to look at the prices of other classics, where you need to spend £40K and upwards to get into anything really interesting (sorry to owners of MGBs and the like, but you know what I mean). Any registration issues can be sorted if necessary, given the car's history, so if you think about it, it should have fetched more - probably only held back by the need for recommissioning work... well that's my take on it anyhow.

    I know, it's not ideal.
    I think there'll be a good few that missed the amnesty boat, yet are happily carrying on.
    It certainly didn't hold this one back?

    Certainly didn't Chris. Unless the new owner isn't aware of the potential pitfalls.. Perhaps we need to start documenting sale prices within the club (not on public forums)? I can see that there might come a time for us to provide valuations to insurance companies? It would be nice to have some actual sales prices to fall back on should evidence be required?

    Real selling prices are so difficult to prove.
    The auctions are too few and far between, and therefore from different periods of collectors car values.
    In any case, the 3 cars that I can think of that have been auctioned (this one, the 'Sony' yellow Hawk and the Pirelli Corse I) are all quite different to each other.

    Perhaps an approach to Bonhams with a request to pass your contact details on to the buyer? You could photograph the documents you want to re-unite with the car for Bonhams so they know it's a genuine request?

    Our collective intelligence surely can do better, but may fall back to what you suggest. Thanks.

    Well the car has surfaced again, it’s emigrated to Japan where the buyer is really struggling to register it. Thanks to Tim Heath and Ade Rudler we’re getting some paperwork but I doubt it will be much help. Does anyone remember EAM163V? Does the name Richard Braine mean anything to anyone? He may have been the builder out of Hook?
