I visited some family friends today who are selling their Nissan Navara with a view to purchasing it(Bargain price).
I've known them for 25+ years(since I was four) and have always known that the the gentleman was into classic car rallying. After a bad accident(co-driver broke his back) though he gave it up, selling his beautiful Mexico. They are both now into their seventies and he can't see himself ever getting back into it.
The rally cars he has left are a Alpine Sunbeam and a Volvo PV544.
Here is the Sunbeam.....

Both of these cars are for sale, though they aren't being actively advertised. I've known about these cars for years but it just made me think I wonder what else is hidden away in people's garages!

Did you manage to get any pics of the Volvo ? Afraid not, that is having it's sills done currently. That is my favourite, it's gorgeous. Wanted to buy it for years but it's always been out of reach for me. |

And how much is not actively asking for the Porsche?

73 Triumph 2000 - Needs work
03 Range Rover 4.4 V8 petrol. Had to get it out of my system.

And how much is not actively asking for the Porsche? Going to speak to them on Tuesday when I pick up the Navara, as had a few messages asking about availability. To be honest, I have no idea of a value of the Porsche, I'm no expert on them and don't know all the ins and outs of the different models. Being a bit of a technophobe I'm not sure he really has a good idea of it's worth either, for personal reasons his focus has been on other things aside from cars the past two-three years. I'd be leaning towards getting a independent valuation from a Porsche specialist to give an accurate value. |

For example they just sold their E-type(previously owned by Stallone) but they just shipped it off to Bonhams auctions and let them price it, organise transport etc. Bonhams put a reserve on it of £45k, it didn't sell so they then just worked out what the commission would have been and deducted it from the reserve and sold it on.
They are interested in selling but don't need too so if it isn't straight forward they just keep them.

That's probably their best option for getting the most for it if the right people are at the sale. Quite fancy one myself but want it at a " bargain price " just like most of us ;-)
