Title: Yellow Zagato on eBay Post by: Philm on 20 September, 2009, 01:57:40 PM Anyone on here bought the yellow S2 Zagato on eBay. It was a 'Buy it now' for £2750. A tidy profit for the seller.
Title: Re: Yellow Zagato on eBay Post by: 2Lancialan on 21 September, 2009, 01:19:16 PM Well that's where I found mine, but must say I didn't see a yellow one recently. Where was it hiding? Got the web address so that we can see what we've missed?
Regards, Alan Title: Re: Yellow Zagato on eBay Post by: Philm on 21 September, 2009, 09:34:31 PM Here we go; item No 110436599070. It originally sold to the latest seller for £1550 from an employe of Tanc Barrets which looking at the detailed images I got was still overpriced. The door has pulled away due to complete corrosion of the A post, the ends of the sills are shot. Rear valance is lace as they usually are and the door cards are ruined from damp. It does though have a lot of history seems complete and is probably worth restoring if you can weld. If you compare it to the recently sold red 1.3S2 Zagato, also on eBay for £3750 then you can see that £2750 is over the top for a restoration project.

Title: Re: Yellow Zagato on eBay Post by: Philm on 23 September, 2009, 07:58:20 PM Apparently the buyers (in his 30's) mother called to say he was not buying it! Or maybe he realised the amount of work he would be in for.
