Given the spread of the KR200s sold recently this is probably a reasonable price at auction in Britain. It is in line with what my statistical analysis of values could be post auction and on which I am basing my collection/stock reshuffle for keepers and weakest. It will be interesting to know if the yellow 'schmitt is going for export. I was quite shocked to see what 'standard' Fiat Jollys go for now doing this research. It surprised me by representing one of my two most valuable cars along with the KR201 - the TG500 is by no means far enough along as yet but has more potential, allegedly. Yet there is really only one of these cars I will never part with and the other two fell into my lap as well. Luck has its part to play but only if you recognize it for what it is and grasp the opportunity.
On a slightly differing topic the feed back from a few sources confirmed what I have held to be the case for sometime now. Quite a few American buyers will not readily buy cars from Britain as the quality of the restoration is not good enough, nor does the specification of parts used meet their standards of finish. So our market is likely to remain slightly depressed in relation to elsewhere with only the top cars and original unmolested rarities getting pulled off. That might please those worried about keeping cars in this country to maintain a hobby stock at lower prices. I find it rather amusing. The pupil has become the teacher, in a way. It does mean I have several very serious restoration jobs ahead of me, though, if I hope to access the best markets with the best cars for a good result.
