Guys,
F.Y.I.
Hurst Park are selling an automatic 428. It has had everything done that needs doing and is in (according to them) 1st class condition. It has had many many thousands spent on it and it is a 60,000 mile car (high 50's actually).
They say they can show receipts for work on the car totalling over £90,000! and they claim a full service history. Be that as it may it can't justify the asking price of . . . are you sitting down? . . . £60,000 ! ! !
Not only are they not kidding, but they claim to have sold another 428 (silver/manual) in the last 6 months for the same money.
It's not that I doubt them but a 428 can't be worth more than £30,000 of anyone's money, even a manual convertible can't be much more than £35,000.
We'll see how long they sit on it I guess
As to anyone buying a 428 and converting it to a 427 I personally would like to burn such philistines at the stake. A good Kirkham would be a better bet, and cheaper. Though you would of course be able to drop a genuine 427/428 into a converted Frua without any MOT problems.
Still . . . the horror.
