    Sounds cheap if it was a good car, compared to previous results.

    They claimed it was "original". The last auction result was for a restored car and a good resto on that car is 6 figures. So maybe it's fair. Tough to know without seeing the car. It sure looked nice and shiny in the pictures.

    I found only one picture of the car, and it looked like a US version with 16 inches wheels. It can't be compared with perfectly original Euro cars in terms of prices.

    When did they start making the US versions, 19145 is relatively early in the production order.

    You're right, the car I found on goodings wasn't the one that just sold. 19145 is indeed a Euro, and seemed pretty nice to me, despite a few unoriginal details like the exhaust or the sump cap.

    $236.5k USD inc commission = 167K pounds or 312K AUD which I think is a respectable result for what appears to be a good (but not restored ) car

    The Bonhams Goodwood car had many wrong parts and seems far from original.
    A silver car with a Greek history would not perhaps be everyone's choice.

    Well yes Mike there are the usual culprits we see in a number of Vetros, such as deep front spoiler, cut out rear valance for the quad exhaust, the quad exhaust, 16 in wheels, but otherwise, from what I can see most of the original parts are there. You could source/restore, pretty much all of that, for not more than 12k max GBP(parts alone). Nonetheless you still have a lot more left in the kitty in terms of money in the car to further your restoration if you want to get a very very nice car. I think the car was bought reasonably.
    And the fact that it comes from Greece makes not one jot of difference, anymore than it would from any other part of the world. I personally know the Greek classic car market very well and can assure you that there are some very big time classic car collectors in greece who take their cars very seriously indeed...

    No not at all. Just that old habits are hard to break and I am always around and like to stay in touch.
    Currently into older Porsches at the moment(well not tooo old!) and have bought a couple recently that's all. Always gauging the market all round though!

    Looks to be about the market price at the moment....
    I would figure in around $30-40k to put this car back to original spec, about $10k for a retrim, as it's also incorrect, then add another $25k for a reasonable quality paint job, and you are then quickly up to c.$250k
    $250-350k seems instinctively to me, to be about where these cars should be , depending on condition. About 3 years behind 246 Dino pricing (all things remaining equal).
    BR,

    If we're still talking about the silver car then yes, for a restoration project.

    Yes I would tend to agree from what I have seen with the market. A excellent and correct(not necessarily concours of course) 308 Vetro should make about 250k USD or about £175k GBP. Certainly a RHD one would probably do.

    Think I'll chose to remember roma1280's Vetro selling at US357,000 or £250,000 earlier this year!

    Well I wish all Vetro owners the very best and hope they get the price they feel their car is worth, but I fear that for the time being at least, 250k GBP is very optimistic. However markets do change with time and so that price could be the norm in due course. The problem is of course that most high end cars will also probably go up alongside that and so we are again at square one, particularly if you want to upgrade to something different.

    I'm actively looking for another to restore. If anyone has a lead on one, the more beaten up the better, please let me know. Thank you.
