Having just read this magazine It seems we may well be undervaluing our (20vt) coupes' (talking we not club members). They value the coupe as follows Excellent > £4000 Good > £2500 Average > £1250 Project > £500 They also call it a entry-level classic Thoughts?

Sounds like good news.
Are their definitions of excellent, good, and average per usual expectations or anything different.
I am assuming good is something like: All mechanicals have been regularly or recently serviced with documentation to support, no mechanical defects, and body/interior looked after but perhaps reflective of the age of the car.
Where-as excellent would be maintained/restored and documentation/pics to prove, or low mileage and well looked after inside and out?

They don't clarify those rather important points. I'd imagine your summary is spot on though.

Yes, there is a steady flow of coops that, let's face it ... need lots doing, presently and usually advertised! Club members need to stress the fact that purchasing one from a member, generally means it's been well looked after, as it should be looked after and maintained. Effectively, it is the safest and cheapest way to secure a good car. There is always exceptions to the rule, but you get my drift I am sure

The way i look at it at this present time. The good ones on the road are only going to get better as they are owned by enthusiasts who strive for perfection. Then the bad ones will only get worse as they get neglected.
This will be reflected in the price where good ones will continuously inscrease in value and the bad ones will slowly dissappear.

My old almera gti was worth nothing. Even though there are less than 500 on the road in the UK. A mint one goes for about £2k. its all about what the masses perceive as desirable. Sierra cosworths can still be had cheap but it'd be a dog. Expect to pay £8k plus for a good sapphire.
I think Patrickstar has it spot on. Price them high IF you want to sell (and why would you?)
The effort and work that's gone and going into mine alone will make it worth the high value it would take for Someone to persuade me to hand over the keys.
The problem is we want resale values high but parts cheap. I used to be into nissan 200sx. There was a time when I could pick them up for peanuts. Then drifting became popular and prices trippled! Knackered project cars are going for what I could get a mint one for. Drift tax is mega high on parts too.
The profile of the coupe needs raising imo

The profile of the coupe needs raising imo I think the more the coupe is on the tracks and at events the better because the trouble with the coupe is it's not really shown off and when it is mainly around Italian events. But there is always a lot of interest at trackday when there has been some good tussles with other brands ie the ford lot or the jap stuff which is good to see.

I bought one 20vt for £600, and another for £300 with the intention of robbing it for spares to restore the 600 quider. All I have done since is buy spares from eBay, etc because I didn't have the heart to gut the 300 quider and now that car is still complete. 'Glad I did that, really.
