OK Guys, Ive sold the TVR, widened the garage to the width that you guys say i need to be able to get out, now i just need the car. This is what i've found - 348ts red/crema 30k miles '91 very nice condition, its at a ferrari specialist and its had 7 owners ! What should i be paying for it ? give me a guide ? Thanx
That depends, all the ones I went to see were described as 'very nice' or 'excellent'. Some were a lot more excellent than others if you know what I mean. IMO, winter asking prices from specialist tb/ts 90'/91' RHD 28/29ish, 92'/93' 29/30+. Depending on actual condition and history etc. With new/recent belt service. You can get an excellent 94' spyder for less than 30k privately at the moment. Probably worth a lot more come summer. Edited to add: I had to pay more than 25k for my LHD 92' last year. The trade cars advertised at £25500 at the time were older spec 90's that needed tyres/brakes/sill plates/minor paint/aircon repair etc. etc. etc. and that what was visible. Would have cost a lot more to get right.
I paid 29 for my 92 ts, with 30k on the clock in good condition. as a private purchase, If i were you i would start at about 27 and see what happens!!
I trust the new owner will look after it and keep it a long time. Some people go through 2 Ferraris in as many years !
Well, I let my RHD Spider with 4 owners total and 34k miles, full history - full Tubi system (trust me, this is imperative - if it doesn't have one, the first time you go out with guys that have them, that'll be £2k spent the very next week, ask Yorkshirelad, SteveW, SteveP, Dave Scholes, LeeP .... and on), absolutely superb condition (see pic to give you a guide as to what the engine should look like), goes like stink (has the higher powered engine than the TS), runs like a dream (took it down to Spain in August) and a very well known car both here and on Pistonheads ... and I let it go for £30k (that reminds me, I owe Stig a quid ) So, in answer to your question, and knowing the market out there... £25k max, the dealer will have probably given about £21k for it.

One thing shoud be remember, even in Germany LHD's are trading at this level (25k£) or even slightly higher so if you add any premium for RHD it's worth at least 25k£. IMO Burriana's spider was very very cheap, worth more next spring (problem for me there was that I already have a nice TS and Al's wasn't red and LHD ).
Ive got a red/cream TS for sale 91 on a J plate, 29,000 miles, Tubi exhaust, Tracker. Excellent condition. Up for sale at Bob houghtons for £35,000, but privately i will sell for much less. PM me if you're interested
There's one here too - private car at delaer money it could be argued http://www.ferrariownersclub.co.uk/sales/sales.asp
If you're interested in a Spider, my mate is still selling his after someone timewasted him for a few months. It's a triple black 1993 car, one owner AND ONLY 4,500 MILES! Totally unique. It is still up on Verdi's site at optimistic money, but I have been authorised to sell it for much less. Feel free to PM me for more details.
