Hi,
Every now and then I look at Autotrader and Pistonheads to see what Puma's are going for.
Looking the other day there were 3 cars over £2k and one above £3k on Autotrader alone :!: :?:
Either the trader has found a bargain or they are paying proper money to buy privately or at auction so maintaining profit margins.
Whether these prices are achieved is another matter but i do know some owners, perhaps, myself get a bit OCD about this.
I know I paid top money for my 3 owner 42k miles from new full service history car around 18 months ago. I did get a new clutch and cambelt in the price.
As I have said before the market will polarise as the best original cars will achieve the best money as many are shipped off to the scrap yard.
The discussion on whether a car is worth saving will get more marginal and this will drive suppliers, traders and Ford specialists in general to up their game and start supporting Puma's with greater commercial desire.
Events such as Ford Fair will start to change with a classic section getting bigger and distinctly separate from the new cars with their tuning sections. The scrabble for NOS parts will intensify and drive prices up until the supply improves. Like the ESP news for example. This is just a function of time.
Just an observation and 'you cant drive money' :grin: :lol:
Kind regards Ian
