Hope the seller gets what he wants for it.

6 Nissan Skylines for sale for over £100K each.

Some may be heavily modded butthese prices are crazy

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

My Signum must be worth millions if a tarted up Viva can go for £17995.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Back in 1989/90 the Lotus Carlton was £48000......almost twice the price of an M5.

In the same year I paid £41000 for a house.

£18k for a 1800 Magnum is madness. My best mate had one in the 70,s. They looked ok but were a crap car.
Slow, heavy ,and handling a bit ponderous.
Iirc he paid about £800 for it when it was around 5 years old, from a Vauxhall dealer, and I thought he was robbed.

The 2300 version went acceptably well with a torquey 4 cylinder lump in a light car.

But as you rightly say, £18000 is insanity.

[Doctor Gollum]

It will be nearer £25k by the time you've got the LS running in it...

I think my first, in 1991, was £55k for a 3 bed semi with garage on a grotty estate in Aylesbury.  Prices were artificially low, as interest rates had blown through the roof at the time, around 14% IIRC.

[Rangie]

Our first property was a brand new flat in 1974 in South Croydon £10,750 ,sold it 5 years later for £14,995 and bought a brand new 3 bedroom semi for £19,995 now valued at £650,000 .

*Sigh*, they are trying to get me to spend a week in Croydon just after Xmas.  But as its such a monumental shithole, I don't want to .

Still, at the rate of apathy to basic requirements to prevent the sniffles spreading, we'll be in full on lockdown then, and all hotels closed

I've got one Aunt left in Croydon but she now has Dementia so absolutely no point in visiting down there anymore ,she wouldn't have a clue who we are, been backwards & forwards most of the year as having to deal with two properties one now sold thankfully.
Loved living there until we moved in 1987 could see then what was happening to the area.

Amended that for you TB.
