Wildrover,
I wouldn’t be too concerned, the true value of these cars is priceless! My brother in law changes his cars every five minutes, he seems to turn up in something different all the time. I have a look over his latest car, go out in it, but I have never thought, that I would swap my 260 for it, even though these have been cars that have cost up to £60,000.
Also, I think my 260 is a really nice example, which I would not sell cheaply. You do see cheap cars for sale, but normally I think that is probably for a reason. I feel I have just had a really good purchase with Eric’s car, but it was for sale in the South of France, coming up to Christmas time, with an incorrect front bumper, and a fault code showing. So that would effect it’s ability to be sold for a top price. I feel that if the car was in the UK it would have sold quickly and at a higher price.
Your recent purchase looks fantastic, enjoy it.
cheers,

It also cost more than you might imagine to get it back into the UK. So to an extent the purchase price is slightly irrelevant.

Sure you're right there.
However you do it, car-train or driving + ferry/'chunnel', tolls and fuel, not to mention flight to pick up, hotels and food .....
(Even from Holland, I find I'm always around a grand short when I visit the POL on a 5 day trip).
What about the actual costs of re-importing and re-registering (re-testing?) the car in the UK though, Justin?
I assume that's a lot more than the zero you might assume, the car having been 'born' in the UK and exported.

Thanks for the permission, Jerry. It does help a lot to make that list as complete as possible each month.
