The seller supplies the spiel and photos. They ‘suggest’ a reserve price which is aimed to ensure it sells. Then sit back and rake it in. Simple! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drumzz 6 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 was my car, gone to another enthusiast. higher price than suggested by the dealers, and probably as good as it'll get in the current market. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 229 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well done for the sale But unfortunately a very unscrupulous company in Collecting Cars to deal with. Very Low Morals and very poor Terms and Conditions for the Buyer. Best avoided if possible 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Messer 45 Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Been thinking of selling my pewter cup. not really done anything serious about it put it on pistonheads at the start of the year and agreed a deal pretty much straight away with a guy on Spain but then lockdown got in the way and travel restrictions etc And also think he was having issues specific to registering the cup in Spain.. probably Not a good time to advertise it at the moment though?

chumaxa 97 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 The good cars will sell, I bought mine that time of the year... but with covid, yes wait next spring ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3eighty 8 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) I wouldn’t feel that you absolutely have to wait until next year if you want to move it. I appreciate that it isn’t peak Lotus season as we come into winter but COVID in itself isn’t a deal breaker. I sold my Elise Cup privately in April / May during much worse lockdown conditions and didn’t have too many issues. You need to sell it well and price it sensibly - although I am not sure that the winter / summer premium is massive if you want to get a move on. I recall the Lotus dealer in Northwich selling the green V6 Cup in about a day in late Oct / Nov last year. Also check with guys like Will Blackham or John Seal guy or even dealers - B&C or Silverstone seem quite active. Edited November 16, 2020 by 3eighty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jon has made an offer for it as did targo florio cars and both were ok for dealers to be fair, but I just want to try myself first when I finally pull my finger out. have to find what I want to replace it with first though and that’s where I struggle.

MrD 25 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 It seems that colour has something to do with how quickly a car sells - that and sensible pricing of course. Out of curiosity @Messer, what colour is your Cup? Quote https://www.youtube.com/user/fiestaria Link to post Share on other sites

Any owner with a CoP should be able to give you a pretty good idea re V6 Cup numbers. For Cup Rs, I’d ask @Jack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Schnitzel 27 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I’m sure I read, from a reputable source, that despite the actual plaque numbers, that they made under 100 road cars. no idea whether that’s true, but judging by the gaps in plague numbers on this thread, it could be correct.
