Record Aceca price?
« on: May 12, 2012, 13:03:36 »
Aceca BE575 sold yesterday at Bonhams Monaco sale, http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20438/lot/222/
   For a non original V8 engined car 138 000 euros is a lot of money and I think an auction record price for any Aceca. It seems finally prices are on the march for these much under appreciated and rare cars.
   
   Regards, Luke

Here is a link to the Bring a Trailer website archives of early 2009. This car sold for $40k and was flipped quickly for $65K. Hard to tell if any additional work has been done on it since.

Even if some work was done on the car subsequent to the 2009 sale, someone must still be very happy with their profit margin! [:D]

The growth in value of the Aceca in the last 6-7 years has been remarkable, far better return than any bank for sure.
   The Bonhams Aceca with 289 V8 and Salisbury final drive sold for £63,100 inc Premium.
   
   An Aceca Bristol we restored in 2010 changed hands in the same year for over £100,000.
   
   Very few cars can show a growth of in excess of 100% growth over the last 10 years.
   
   As close relatives become out of reach because of price for many, they can drag up the value of lesser relations, So as the Cobra's started making massive money they dragged the price of the ACE up, now it is the same story because of the values of the ACE they are dragging up the value of the ACECA.
   The ACE Family ticks most of the investment requirements "Quality" "Exclusivity" and "Desirability".
   Can the same Apply for the Greyhound? I Hope so

The Aceca that sold in the Bonhams Goodwood sale BE605, also seems to have turned a quick profit. It was advertised for sale on the car&classic website earlier this year for £52000 in Germany. It now has a UK registration but appears otherwise unchanged, not a bad way to make a living!
   
   Couldn't agree more about the Greyhound, it's a shame so few were made and that many have been robbed of their running gear.
