1973 Skoda 110LS Rallye For Sale on Car And Classic UK

Is it me or are prices of rear engined skodas spiralling out of control:eek:

Personally, I don't think its worth even a 10th of that, and if I had £60k to spend, I'd spend £27k of it on a New Superb 3.2 V6 Elegance 4X4 and the rest of it on fuel!

I'm a big fan of the rear engined models, along with all Skodas, but people are asking/paying far too much for some of them.:confused:

It's one thing knowing a car/having sentimental value for it etc, but it's another tying to convince a buyer what you think it's worth.

£60,000 is almost certainly a typo.....its more likely to be £6,000 I suspect.....time will tell as I along with others are trying to find out!). Spending £27,000 on a Superb would be one of the silliest things you'd ever done. Huge and immediate depreciation would occur and as its a large car with 4wd and a merely average V6 its unlikely to be much fun to drive. (and if its a diesel as I suspect it may be its going to be worse!!)

Better blowing £10,000 making a decent old RWD Skoda (130RS relica say) fast and keeping £50,000 safe (not in a bank though!!!)

I wonder if the car comes complete with John Haughland,

that would make it worth every penny!

And it has got a dint in the n/s rear door

If you don't ask, you don't get

60 large is at least one order of magnitude too much.

I take what I said back about the price....I contacted the owner and got this reply -

Dear Peter,

yes i understand its a skoda. but its a limited edition version. only a few where made at the time. this vehicle is unique because the registration documents have got one registered keeper from new. unfortunately, the price is not a typo error, however i am open to sensible offers made.

thank you for your interest.

John

The bloke selling it must have rose-tinted specs.Sensible offers, eh? Err, how about £5K tops.

:)If I were in the fortunate position of having that kind of money spare I'd buy it. Yeah, I could buy a Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin ect.... but I don't want any of those. I live and breathe rear engined Skoda, so in my opinion that car is priceless.

Not sure it'd go down so well with SWMBO though!

I know what you're all thinking and you're correct...I'm not right in the head!:P

Agreed, largely because that money would probably buy an ex-works car with a competition history, or a mint R120RS (road), Rapid (maybe even a cabrio?), CX GTi Turbo2, BX 16v...

He's having a chuffing laugh surely SURELY... £60k can buy a new porsche.

I wonder how long this will be for sale for.

I too think its a zero too many.

Dave, I know you can hear me.

Step away from the cheque book, keep your hands up, move real slowly

We have armed officers surrounding the building, put the cheque book down!
