Subject: Re: 1952 2.6 dhc for sale in Bonham's USA
One wonders if an American dealer picked it up or not, would have been a canny buy, dare I say it a bargain, even with re-trim issue ?
I do struggle with a value for the 2.6 dhc's, a real unknown, prices seem to be everywhere on the net from £25k for a blue wreck to £75k for a fine looking burgundy and silver car.
However, none of these are selling and real time auction performance is really an unknown.
A condition 1, 2.6 saloon sold last year at auction for ca. £15k, so there is little incentive to restore those cars, which is also a great shame.
Looks to be another 1940's design which dated very quickly, and they are so rare on the market, that most people would not know what they are.
In contrast the 3.0 litre cars seem to get snapped up very quickly and do not hang around for any length of time. Gorgeous, perhaps even drop-dead lines which still look timeless today.
