Happy New Year Clive It’s not the busiest of forums but it’s a friendly place nevertheless.
Intersting I was reading EVO earlier and they made more Renault 5 Turbos then Exige S1’s. That said only 600 S1 Turbo’s but 1800 in total. Great pedigree. And back on value again the last Exige S1 for sale in the UK was up for £35k, that’s 12 more than what I bought mine for 3 years ago . The Renault on the other hand is 15ish years older (a classic) with S2’s currently selling at £80k so relatively speaking it’s not all that when you consider there age, and mine . Still it’s no bad thing either way and I’d gladly own both.
I honestly think the S1 Exige is slightly under value. I would have thought any car coming to the market now is surely over £40k?
None for sale at the minute I see. Mine is still sitting with under 20k on it in the warehouse. I was tempted to sell but you will never get another is what I think. I would think this year you will see plenty over £40k when the summer months come. It probably all down to who puts what up and at what price early on dictates the market early on in the season?
It certainly will but I remeber thinking the same when I was looking at CSL’s. I think you’d be nuts to sell for under £30k for even the highest milage S1 now.
I was offered 30k, by a dealer, unseen against a 911 993 last summer. The 993 was a reasonable price as well (would now be 7-10k more, 993s have gone nuts). Offset pedals in the 993 made it a non starter with my once broken pelvis, that what happens is you race cycles.
