Ebay Turbo 2

it's going to be an expensive restoration for the lucky or unlucky winner

why haven't the original owners done it up and sold it on restored? as they fetch such a high value when done...... looks like theres a few hearts clicking those mouse buttons.....

and mr Dini and Mr Maxi man and Mr D are keeping quiet........

yes i have looked at this car probally the rustiest one i have ever seen easier and cheaper to reshell i will have a bid though as i have a lovely rust free shell hidden away

not this one is it

Up to £10k now.

I guess a £15k restoration job would still be a profitable venture though. Off to France I reckon.

Into non profit now. Someone must want it for the fun of the project. The last 8221 at auction made £15k ish with fees and it was mint compared to that one.

Will end up costing way more than a rather nice turbo 1 that just sold...

I bet it keeps on climbing to £15k + which tbh is just crazy for a basket case.

The jones must be laughing all the way to the bank!

Wish I'd hung onto mine for a bit longer

not this one is it

no that one is in better condition

11k for that ! Strewth. So what is so special about the chassis number then?

Its 8221 innit?

Don't you know nothing.

It's the maxi chassis number. Shared with I think 200? regular T2s which have the larger 1560? engine and an aluminium roof. Otherwise bog standard including the low rent interior.

True group B chassis number.

£20-25k restoration. Still a good value car even at up to £20k purchase price.

Based on what cars are actually selling for rather than what they are advertised at I would have to disagree.

Two turbo 1s were advertised recently. One at £50k. One at £30k. The £30k one sold at £25k. The £50k one was unsold. The £25k car had just had a £15k bodywork resto and paint job and was externally concours and mechanically good. The front seats had been retrimmed and new carpet fitted throughout. A turbo 1 is more desirable than any t2 and on that basis the above car is worth £10k max even if it ran and had nothing else mechanical wrong with it which looking at the photos is extremely doubtful.

1430 engine

its all to do with supply and demand u wont get a shitter for less than ten grand these days a crap shell in france is 3-5 grand at these prices i may even sell my good shell with some nice bits hillclimb engine dry sump matter ally cage europa cup/tdc spec probally in bits its worth 15 grand so get saving

It's not all about buying to sell on ......perhaps someone wants it to actually keep hold
Alien concept to a lot on here these days

[stephendell]

I agree. The only way it would make sense is someone buying to keep and do the resto themselves in spare time.

Still expecting it to hit £15k on that basis.

Had a guy came to look at the gordini turbo I'm breaking last week and he was restoring a car far worse than mine but he was doing it because he wanted to and part of the fun for him was in the build etc

I guess the price of the above explains the dozens of calls and emails after the common parts!!

No longer on the bay!
