[Tigers] Mk2 values

Thank you all who contributed to my question about MKII values. I have used
the Hagerty Valuation tool many times, but I couple that knowledge with
personal experiences.

I am aware of a Tiger Mk II "for sale" that I'm trying negotiate the
possible sale of. Admittedly I was hoping to do so without opening up the
floodgates of other competition, hence my lack of detail.

He's asking 80 grand for a non driving car, with many critical MKII pieces
that have not yet been confirmed. He may have them but I haven't seen
them. The car does start, but does not drive. It also is packed in a garage
with stuff all around it, obstructing some of its inspection, but its very
clearly a MKII. It is recorded in TBON. No visible rust but may have
some body filler, amount unknown. Communication is poor with the seller and
his expectations are unreasonable. He quotes a 240K sale on a MKII and
is confident his car is worth 70-80 grand. I didn't think it is. I know of
a couple driver quality MKII's that recently sold for less than 100k.
Frustrating situation. He has no inspiration to build the car, only to get
rich off of it. If the deal was right, I could possibly buy the car but I
have no desire to overpay. I think the car is maybe "worth" 45 or 50 but he
would just laugh. I have offered him 30 without confirmation of the grill,
top of grill trim and wheel arches, and he didn't even respond to my offer.

Thank you so much for understanding and thank you for helping with
discussion on values. Just trying to make sure I am representing my case
realistically to the potential seller. My patience for negotiation is
running out. I've been lightly pursuing the car since early 2013.

Thank you all!

Cullen
