Default 412 virtues

Peter, your observations re V8 prices appear to be correct at first glance,
however I feel that a car retailed by BCL Ltd should not be compared to
similar age vehicles elsewhere for sale. I say this because BCL only sell
used cars that have been checked and worked on by the factory so as to
ensure they are not only extremely presentable but also in a safe and
reliable condition. It's not hard to imagine what might be "lurking under
the skin" of a 30 to 40 year old car, so to buy with a 6 months Factory
Warranty must be tempting to many. (Of course the notion of Caveat Emptor
may provide a thrill for others!) I remember around 1998 a used 411 that had
been worked on by the factory sold for over £40k by a specialist dealer. So
maybe prices haven't moved too far.


Happy Bristolling
