Hi all, wondering if any one knows anything about the Zed on Mathewsons up coming auction, looks really good and only 50 k miles

[Zedebee]

Of course it looks good, it’s in the peerless Maldives Blue

I don’t know the car though. Very few of these around at this mileage, but it seems pointless paying a big premium given the mileage these engines are capable of. You could pick up a 100k miler for half the estimate price. Looking under the bonnet, it doesn’t look the most cherished example, but it does have heated electric seats and xenons which are probably the most important options.

Could be a bargain at the right price, especially as some auction cars seem to have been going very cheaply recently.

As you can tell there is a bit of a Maldives Blue fan club on here! Although I prefer Merlot.

I don't know anything about that car but other than the few desirable options Zedebee has pointed out, at that guide price you'd effectively be paying about £2K just for the low mileage and the 6 cylinder engines can easily cope with well over 100K miles.

Looking at cars that have recently sold on here it seems to me like more of a £3-4K car.

More interested in the Daytona Yellow Mk1 Facelift Capri tbh

I agree the reserve is a tad high, also they charge vendor and buyer fee ...7.5 % + VAT !!!!

It’s only an estimate, not a reserve. Still think it’s ambitious though. Possibly Maldives Blue roadsters are worth more than I thought
