Not at that money though... That's way too much to be asking...

The Practical Classic Magazine (UK) price guide shows ÂŁ4000 for one in an excellent condition. That's $6-7000 at current exchange rates, so they're asking too much....

But, I wonder whether prices for such non-exotic cars should reflect thier greater scarcity in North America (=higher prices), or the greater difficulty of obtaining parts and maintaining and servicing(= lower price).

Or, if people pay no attention to what international prices are, and just try to get (or only pay) what they can...
 
I find a lot of that vintage of restored sedans have a similar price tag - i.e. about $9k. I suspect it reflects the costs of restoration. I also suspect that they were restored without really thinking about their resale value. (Much as I did - as I have no plans to sell - BUT a ragtop is more desireable generally)

I also find that Canadians tend to want silly money for their cars. recently emailed about a "ran when parked" (10 years ago) A40. Guy still wanted 4k for it.
