footybatmobileman 0 Posted October 1, 2021 Hello, Reassessing life and priorities and so looking to sell a number of things. Its is a genuine 1970 Mexico 1970 Football World Cup 1600E being Peter Osgoods one (Registration GWC 7H) It has been in storage for a number of years and will need some light recommissioning. Just wondering if other enthusiasts can give thoughts as to what its value maybe as I am not sure. Also looking to sell a number of other interesting Cortinas too - see other topic. Kind thanks for any helpful opinions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Webster 28 Posted October 3, 2021 Ah right I "know" this car and a few others in the GWC series (1970 World Cup Cars, I owned 10H for a while). Straight out off the keyboard I'd suggest around £15k, likely northwards of that. The car was restored in the 1990's if my memory serves and looked very "fresh and well done" when finished.

I remember it just after it was freshly restored at Symonds Yat in or around 1999. Obviously two decades have passed since I well suspect its "get the spanners out again" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D-FENS 74 Posted October 16, 2021 Do you think the price should be £9,950 and £99,950 is a mistake ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe it or not the vendor values the car "north" of 50k (£££'s) they've indicated an independent valuation at this figure along with an engineers inspection, not sure exactly when. I don't personally feel this car will achieve this figure in the near future and whenever it does I doubt, somehow, it would be someone from the "Cortina community" who'd be an eventual purchaser. As commented elsewhere its a white 1600E Cortina with an interesting, unique, history, (not sure whether it actually accompanies to car ? Press photographs and so on) and "decals" connected to a Sporting event, known as the World Cup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow 16 Posted October 17, 2021 So may I ask what you bought and sold 10H for and when. obviously you don’t have to share that info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil. 96 Posted October 17, 2021 With escorts going for silly money, it's bound to filter down to other fords as people move to something more affordable. There's nothing to lose by testing the water at a high figure initially, there are some people out there that want things regardless of cost. Things might change this coming year though as I'm sure interest rates will start to rise again, which means that other investments maybe become more preferable for those with plenty of cash to spend.

nascar66 74 Posted October 18, 2021 Despite owning a high value classic car myself I hope values do come down soon. I don't plan on selling my cars and there are others I'd like to own but I've been priced out of the market! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
