Current issue of Classics World under 'modern classics at auction':

1997 Porto 20VT, 131k, 5 owners £1090
1998 turbo (nfd) £740

Flippin heck how low can they go frown The 1997 looks modified which may have reduced interest.

Was that minus fees I wonder? I always think auctions aren't a good reflection of price unless you're trade.

Hopefully someone has a bargain from them at least

Practical Classics had a story this month featuring a 20v na.

Bought at £750, with a couple of months mot.
Lacquer peel, dents, filthy inside, poor engine care.

Drove around 1000 miles in a week, one broken wiper.
Sold on return with money back.

There cheap untidy cars about, but I would suggest that loved and cared for models are significantly different.

April issue, out in mid Feb includes a buying guide for the coupe. Might be of interest.

They also talked about good ones in an article titled Coupe Shootout in the same issue.

It will be interesting to see where they got their info for next months buyers guide, as I am not aware of them asking the club for input.

I wonder if they are rehashing one from years ago that featured MarioCirillo's old red LE?

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.
