Pirelli Hawk for Sale

Worth every penny of £55K, sure!

It's got a gearlever that's obviously out of something else, a set of rusty GAZ shocks, and a 12V Alfa motor. Now if it had a set of Nitrons or similar, a properly-modified lever that looked like it belonged there, and a 24V motor, then yeah, maybe the original asking price of £69K. And if it had its "original" Dino motor, a lot more....but as it stands, it doesn't matter how well built it is, that was 20-odd years ago and it doesn't appear to have been cared for since Richard had it.
You never know, someone might just come along and pay over £100K for it. But I can't see that person being one who knows anything about Strat reps.

Haven't seen the £150K LB, where's that? Got a link? Assume it's the 24-ct gold-plated one that Craig did for the Sultan of Brunei when he was a bit hard up, and couldn't quite stretch to an original motor?

I think the value of these cars is in the ability to register them in the EU still persists. Once that door shuts the prices will drop I'm sure. This car also has value in that it can be converted to LHD relatively easily compared to later Hawks. It's age may also make it easier to export to the USA? As with anything, it's what any potential buyer is willing to pay and how many are available at any point in time. Wait and see I think but I guess the seller got so much interest at the original price that they've decided to see how much they can get for it.

I agree with everything just said, and if someone thinks it's worth that, then they'll buy it. But I'm looking at it from the point of view of us cynical SEC bums, who also happen to know he was originally asking £69K
