Title: Prices up!
Post by: richk on February 11, 2010, 09:47:24 AM: Just been looking at this months Practical Classics Magazine.
In their used car price guide they have given the 126 an upward arrow and put the prices up

Post by: Jan-in-UK on February 11, 2010, 02:26:21 PM: They could do with some update. There is no way to get mint car for Â£900 :) just no way at all. I supose it is close to 2K now and with dinner coming (hopefuly) in it will only be more I think.

Post by: 1973/126 on February 11, 2010, 11:27:50 PM: All I meant is there was quiet a few cars recently which sold for around 2k. Even bis. I can`t imagine all of these were mint or museum standard.

Darrel was looking for 126 windscreen, but the same expensive company is selling 500 windscreens Â£185

while the other expensive company on Ebay are selling the same 500 windscreen Â£99.95p WHY!!! It pays to shop around.
