Henry Taylor Posted May 6, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 6, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was shocked when I saw the Price. Let me know what you think they are selling it for. The one who gets closest to the asking pice will win NOTHING but have the satisfaction of knowing they know the value of an expensive car,😄 PS will give later the price. Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted May 7, 2021 Share #5 Posted May 7, 2021 I don't know for sure but I'd put a hefty bet on it being well into the seven figure area. Philip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 7, 2021 Share #6 Posted May 7, 2021 Hey, it´s an old car, very old car and it even has no proper roof, no heated seats, no drive assistant etc.. Service costs might be a nightmare too. This car can´t be more than 100 Grands. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Taylor Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I appreciate you all contributing with your answers but based on the condition of the car and one of only 27 made with Rudge wheels they are asking this price. Hank When I first looked at the asking price I miss read it to be only $147,000. Just proves what I know.🙄 Edited May 7, 2021 by Henry Taylor 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 7, 2021 Share #9 Posted May 7, 2021 Completely overpriced. It has an ancient gas engine too, running on patrol. Will be forbidden soon. You‘ll get a fully electric solar powered mars spaceship from Tesla for that price, including a beam option for short distance travels on earth. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted May 7, 2021 Share #12 Posted May 7, 2021 Electric vehicles became a big fashion. You might get petrol only in small doses at the pharmacy in a few years, just like Berta Benz on her first trip. Only owners of 300 SLs might be able to pay. I don‘t judge how eco friendly the new cars will be considering the WHOLE eco footprint incl. production while good old petrol cars still run for years 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Taylor Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share #15 Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Frankly as I see it in order to plug in your electric cars it will be a long time before a replacement for coal and natural gas and fossil fuel will be eliminated. I have to laugh when I hear people praise the fact that they are running on electricity and don't realize that it takes the coal and natural gas to produce the electricity, and in the United State we have the largest resources for fossil fuel and natural gas. We closed down the Keystone pipeline and now buying gas from countries like China who have the worse control, at lease we have the highest standards for producing gasoline with little air pollution.

wizard Posted May 7, 2021 Share #18 Posted May 7, 2021 There's one of those on sale near where I live right now. It is a 1961 model with disc brakes (earlier models only had drum brakes) in very good condition. The seller asks for 1.3 million Euros, which is roughly 1.55 million US$. I am tempted, but my wife will likely say no 😁. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Taylor Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share #20 Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Thought you would like to know this car sold for $ 8,000 in 1957 and with the cost of inflation $8,000 in 1957 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $74,471.74 today, I should have bought 2 instead of the one I never owned.😄 Edited May 7, 2021 by Henry Taylor word 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
