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.

Thanks for the useful feedback M3W55.

You seem to be referring to the UK market where I find it very difficult to get accurate, reliable data. The listed price is rarely the sale price, and you never know the components of the trade. With dealer trades, you don’t know if the transaction is subject to expensive repairs or necessary upgrades and service performed at the vendors expense to get the deal done – very relevant in the case of the M3W.

All you get to see is a list price and sometime later, the sold sign

If you can point us in the direction of a respectable UK auction site (or any other for that matter) that allows access to historic transactions, including the description of the vehicle condition, that would be very useful for everyone on TM.

That’s why I like BaT because there is nowhere to hide, the range is wide and the database excellent.
However, while BaT will facilitate overseas transport, it is essentially a US market.

Like you, I would not have been surprised if someone went nuts in the bidding at the end – it’s a great car, it's rare and I want it.....

Good point on the seating arrangements in the ACE – that may be a turnoff for some.

I guess we now all eagerly await the appearance of the next M3W on BaT.
