Where do I pick up my Aston Martin Vantage from? No contest in my book. However I will settle for a race tuned AC Type 70 as it will be more fun than either for about thrupence ha'penny as I cannot afford either of the others at the sale price.
Since this is the Chinese year of the Tiger should we not refer to the Peel Mafia and Tiger Tong? Ying tong iddle I poh!
Stuff is only worth what someone wants to pay for it. Today £44k, tomorrow £30k, next week £80k - if I had the car i would waiting for next week unless I wanted the money for something as it is a sellers market. Likewise if you need the money never turn down a good price as it might be unrepeatable. At sometime we will reach the tipping point on values. Not sure we are there but of course I refer back to the marketing comment and undermining the possible value of a car by a poor advertising stratagy. So I would not write in to much to this alledged deal underwriting the market for Tigers. Makes for good idle banter, the Eastenders of bubblecar topics.
