Mike-S Posted 1May, 2016 Report Share Posted 1May, 2016 Collective, I'm after some advice on a value. A friend of mine has a 76 Sporto, owned it for donkey's years but hasn't used it for ages (other than moving it between garage units) so he's considering selling it on. I'm not clear on the km's and I only have one photo which is useless, as it's from a distance but what I do know is as followsArrow blue, was completely repainted (windows out) a few years ago and it's pristine. Sunroof and no whale tail.Tan leather interior, to my knowledge it's original but from memory it's immaculateFuchs, he has 2 sets, the originals and a wider set.Engine was rebuilt by George Cairns a few years ago and has probably only covered 1-2000km. I know it has some oil leaks straight from the rebuild and the owner's not happy about that. Having said that he's not the kind of guy to kick up a fuss and much to ours and his wife's frustration he hasn't done anything about it, so I would expect it'll need some gaskets changing. Other than that it's ready to be used and I know whenever the owner does go to it, it starts straight off and drives perfectly, it's always been registered.I know how much money he's poured into its restoration and it's bonkers, the repaint alone was more than I paid for my Targa....Difficult without photos I know, but anyone have a clue as to value? I've suggested he takes it into NineAuto and has the oil leaks sorted, but I think he's afraid if he does that it'll still just sit in his unit and not get used.

hugh Posted 1May, 2016 Report Share Posted 1May, 2016 Wonder what it's like compared to this; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 1May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 1May, 2016 I'd seen that one Hugh, wasn't sure if it had sold. My friends car has the wider Fuchs fitted and looks all the better for it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 2May, 2016 Report Share Posted 2May, 2016 sounds like a 60-70k car.To pay to fix those leaks won't be cheap... especially if the case wasn't sealed properly = full rebuild...Arrow blue is a great colour though. Possibly one of the favorites of a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 3May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 3May, 2016 Thanks for the messages and to Michel for the call. Having talked to my mate at the Shannon's auction last night and discovered a bit more about the car from him, I think he's going to get the oil leaks sorted first.It's actually a 77, not 76 and even he can't recall how many k's it's done. I'll have to go out to where it's kept and have a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
