    Re: LB STR for sale

    Don't wanna get into a discussion over values, but price is the same as anything else that's in short supply and big demand - look at Porsche GT3/GT4's, for example. Even so, there's a limit to what the market will stand, so I think Magnar's got the ball on the green now.

    I offer the following without further comment - I spoke to Mark Harrison at Total Headturners while at Goodwood yesterday and following a discussion he reckoned he could offer ?80k for mine. His view was that he could sell an LB for around ?85-90k depending on spec.

    I'm sure he could sell lots and lots and lots of them at that price.

    From what I've heard he generally tries to sell them for approx double what he pays for them.

    Reckon on seeing your car on his website at more than that.....Mark H isn't a fool, he knows his market. He's been in the business a good while and the fact he's still around tells you he's making a good living!

    My experience of Mark Harrison was a little different when he came up to see Nellie... according to him at the time (Sept 2019) I would get nowhere near ?20k, which was his offer ... he seemed to me to be a "chancer"..... his valuation was less than half what she sold for..... she now live's in Annonay, France.

    I wasn't sure what "list" meant.

    I fully understand now that there's little point quoting a price, as it soon becomes obsolete.
    That goes for a lot of things these days.
