Going on from Nick’s thread, and I didn’t want to hijack that I wondered what you guys thought I should value mine at for insurance (when it’s ready)?
Approx 48k miles.
Fresh paint and full suspension refresh.
HPE 2.2 K20 on ITB’s along with other HPE/clockwise goodies.
Quantum’s/TMR’s etc
Really value your opinions.
Thank you.
Has to be getting on for 50k. Or on 2nd thoughts…somewhat past 50k as its had a respray. And low miles…
Mine’s had all that (not 2.2) but sc …few more miles though. But its not for sale …yet
Have fun
Mine was valued at £45k 18 months ago and is similar apart from you have NA screamer and I have SC+CC. I’d go for £50k at least.
OK, I know this is a public forum, so I will be careful what I say, but surely the big value for these cars is in mint condition standard examples. I don’t see heavily modified versions making as much. Don’t get me wrong, if there was one Exige in the World I would choose, it would be Ben’s, But we’ve seen a mint modded SC car up at £55K for a good few months now and it’s still for sale.
I know we are talking insurance values, and they are a different thing to sale values, but even so.
Yeah, for the investor/purist originality is king. Nowt wrong with a Honda, especially if the mods are reversible, but originality will always win out when everything else is equal…
I totally agree, this is not a ‘how much can I sell my car for’ situation. Just to gauge an idea should the worst happen.
I’m under no illusion that a low miles original car is where the future value is for S1’s.
Just done mine Rob through Henderson Taylor for the same as Ben’s.
Jonny yours is a bit different. The last time one like yours came up for sale it was in a dealer showroom window and brand new.
So by my reckoning that’s £33K less air con…lets call it £31,750 
I’m here all day btw 
We’re not friends anymore 
Yeah mine cost that new in 2001 .I still have Robs original delivery invoice…Less EVO trade in!!! 
!
Since then I reckon its had at least DOUBLE that spent on it . 
… so to recover the investment ?? £100k should cover it 
.
One secret I have learned NEVER keep the car bills where ’ er indoors can find them. 
…cost me a lot of handbags/shoes over the years! 
But it was fun! 
Keep having fun
Yeah I intentionally stopped keeping track of what’s been chucked on the bonfire many years ago. A LOT of money has been lavished on my wagon
What you spend and what it is worth are two very different things. And being the mug who has bought new five times I should know 
Even my Europa TC bought for £4K and sold for nearly £12k had about £15K lavished on it to the benefit of the next owner.
No regrets though, fook that
