What would the value of an "L" GT in concours condition be in this market? Also, how much more is an "L" worth compared to a "M" or "E". Thank you for any and all opinions.
I'm curious as to what people mean when they say "concourse" on this forum. By hardliner standards a "concourse" car would be a Condition 1 car, which, technically, is "one which is never driven" except from the transporter to the lawn for the show, at which point people spend an hour cleaning it from the dust and grass it has just been exposed to. Is that what you mean?
That's about the shape of it. Lets give it $180k plus maybe $15 for for "L". Add more if the buyer is desperate. I'm assuming you mean "Concours" as in car show, not "Concourse" as in airport area.
Was wondering... the cars I see roped off in airport concourses are usually brand new cars with raffle entry forms nearby. I would guess a concourse car would have lots of small sticky fingerprints on it. Whether that adds value is up to the experts to determine.
I would like to see some real cars and real sales prices.... These cars do not change hands often, but that is probabley mostly because their aren't many of them, especially in the USA Coupes always bring higher prices in Europe than the US, I suspect that the Europe value of a "L" series is and will always be higher than in the US That isn't driven by the fact that the "L" series is more desirable there than in the US, bu the US tends to place a higher value on the GTS than Europe does
My advice is buy the best example that satisfies YOUR criteria at the price YOU can afford. Dino coupes are more rare in the U.S. than GTS's so there are fewer to choose from here. Most important is what are YOUR future expectations and are YOU willing to pay the price? The current coupe market shows the cheapest has been $135K for a recent Ebay Dino sale to I would guess $250K for the best Dino coupe in the world if it were for sale. Prices don't seem to be going down and the inventory of available examples are few and far between(here in the U.S.). Freeman
I couldn't agree more. A good car is where you find it, be it L, M or E. Once you find the right car, the chronology of its production will pale in significance compared to the enjoyment its ownership will bring you. Fred
Yes, buy the best that you can find or afford but, back to the original question, it is a matter of fact that L series have always been the most sought after Dinos also here in Italy ( we use to call them "gallettone" for knock-off). I agree with Matthias, probably 10 to 20 per cent premium over M or E series in same conditions. Best, Emanuele
