I didnt say they were less desirable or rarer, just worth less money at the moment. I'm very happy for you Perry although this one is still not up to schmitt money, of course it could be the sellers mate down the pub and his next door neighbour running it up for him! Bidders identity protected. Its really sad how the main focus of so much on the forum these days is values. I also suspect that Mike Plant secretly works for ebay as he flags up everything worth looking at reducing any chance of getting a bargain to zero.
Unfortunately values are a big issue. I would like a TG but that's not going to happen. Can't afford it.
I would also like a 246GT and that's not happening either. It amuses me that people say it was so much better when they were cheaper. Of course it was! especially if you wanted one!
I've always believed the Mk1 to be underrated and I happen to think they're fantastic to boot. In '02 I didn't go looking for an Isetta ot Trojan. I have no interest in one and they come up for inflated prices weekly. No so a Scoot. Scoots were only sold in the UK so if you want one it's here where you find 'em.
I wanted a Mk1. On rarity,shape etc (which is not the whole issue) I believe the Scoot should be much more expensive than a KR. I happen to own a KR but the Scoot is nigh on impossible to get.
I wan't it achieve a sensible (high) price because in a sane market it should do. None of my machines will (hopefully) ever be for sale so values are largely academic.
As for values Bob you deal in antiques. Which I suppose our cars are.
In that trade by chance is the main focus values? One assumes if you had no interest in their value you wouldn't be making too much out of it...
