Subject: Re: 1952 2.6 dhc for sale in Bonham's USA
Hard to fathom. There seems to be a divide between "rare" cars that fetch silly money and "obscure" cars that don't get picked up on the radar at all. The 2.6 seems destined to fall into the latter catagory.
Personally, I find the 2.6 DHC quite imposing and its pre war influence gives it character.
I can understand that many of these cars are beyond economic restoration but this one looked good to go? With basket case Astons of the same era fetching close to 200K euros, this car represents amazing value.
Sorry to preach to the converted.
BTW, seem to be a few 2.6s over here and the occasional 3litre saloon, however I am pretty sure there is just the one 3 Litre DHC.
