I still maintain that M3W prices have appreciated significantly over the past year. While there are a few early ones obtainable for £33-36,000 ($45-49,000), most of those on the market or recently sold have been north of £40,000 ($54,300). Since I sold mine at the end of 2020, its value has probably risen by £6-7,000. That is why I would not have been surprised if the Ace had gone for a few thousand more. Awkward passenger space aside, it is clearly better engineered than the Morgan and it has even more rarity value even if it has less brand awareness.
