Think I am high bidder for now.... Might exceed my allowance.
It's an interesting car more MKIV than a MKIII and most of the DOT points that later was MKIV using a 302.
Came to the US as a component roller, no doubt to avoid emissions etc....

Nice looking car Jeff. Good luck, not in my budget. No use bidding anymore until the end. No use driving the price up too early.

Well I hope in the last few minutes of this auction that nobody is offering Bill and Jeff free alcholic drinks.

Default "Realistic" market for this AK?

In the likely event that either buyer and / or seller are members of the forum, certainly no offense intended by the question.

I am just someone new to this community trying to understand the depth and breadth of the market in anticipation of the next one - whenever that will be.

Obviously the seller would not have let it go if the reserve was unmet, but wondering if the braintrust here expected more / less or just right.

I think the seller is happy with this sale after speaking to him.
As a fellow AK owner I think it's fair and due as they are alloy, real AC's and actually made in the UK.

Checks all the boxes, after all alloy cars now a day's are all seemingly over 200k normally so this in my opinion a good buy and a good sell.
Bravo!

Not market breaking numbers. On par with current replacement cost. The point being that the pedigree didn't make it worth 2x more than a Kirkham.

Right, however it should be in the same ballpark..... Tony, never said it was x2?
It was made in England though.....
Did not seem to help the CSX1000 series either....
