This is a lovely shape and rare compared to the Chevys that came afterwards.

Does need some de-improving. Howver I'd rather do that than fight rust.

Where's that "shit wheels" thread? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1954-chevrolet-Bel-Air-283-V8-2-Door-Coupe-Auto-2-Owners-From-New/123473536246?hash=item1cbf98a4f6:g:KSMAAOSwnFpbu2mD

Even minty Sapphires do well to hit half that; comments on FB suggest the paint is shit so it's not mint and probably full of wob like most others, as you say a quarter is a more realistic maximum and then only if the vendor is prepared to wait for one of the tiny pool of people who have both 10 grand and a desire to spend their leisure time explaining that it's not a Jaguar/Bentley/whatever. I'd rather a 234 TBH.

 

It's a Star Sapphire, so the least desirable version of a car far away from the desires of the mainstream to begin with.

Still, these are darn good cars though, mind, but since when does that count? Only the real shit ever becomes valuable, see Escorts as an example. Or Ferraris.

I have followed many an Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire sale throughout the decades, since I always wanted one (and once that's achieved, I'll not explain anything to anyone, in fact, I'll stop talking to people altogether, with the exception of giving them orders), but I have never ever seen one selling near half of 38k, even during the insane early Naughties buying frenzy. Seeing that the bottom has now dropped out of the posh saloon market, I'd say an eighth of the asking price will soon be realistic. We are not far off the day 38k will buy you a shonky Phantom II saloon, mark my words. Lesser pre war Royces are already not selling for that much.

This seller is deluded and suffers from one of the most severe cases of entitlement complex I have ever seen.

£4000. Not sure if that's expensive or not. Manual 733i with the old L Jetronic engine, would be lively.
