ARR Ruby for sale

[Mike Costigan]

This looks to be a nice specimen, although information on mechanical condition is rather lacking:

Go on, MIke, you know you want to....

[Mike Costigan]

I might have been tempted a couple of years ago, Hugh, but with the current prices of pre-War cars there are others on the market that are more tempting!

[Ivor Hawkins]

I agree Mike, it looks like a nice car, but prices have continued stagnate and fall, there are some more realistically prices Rubies out there!

[Mike Costigan]

I'm looking beyond Sevens; there's what looks to be a very nice Vintage Riley Monaco for just £500 more than the Ruby, and even an Alvis 12/50 for £1,000 more. Sevens are holding their value better than most.

A 12/50 Alvis for seven grand? That’s less than the agreed value on my 2CV. Quick, I must open the pocket money tin and buy a machine with as much carrying capacity as the Citroen, and suitable for towing trailers.

[Mike Costigan]

Looks like the Alvis is now sold (it was advertised at £7,250), and a Silver Eagle sold last month at an advertised price of £9,500. Both were saloons, in what I would describe as reasonable condition; I think unless the car is really smart, buyers are hard to find.
