Dolomite from 1972

[Marekinho]

Hi guys, recently I did bought dolomite from 1972. 1850 manual gearbox ( 4 speed )
I did research and it was registered in 1972 -07-01 with 13 miles on the clock ( now 15k) only one owner (somerset) question is how much this car can be worth coz cannot find anything online . Thanks

It's worth as much as someone is prepared to offer you for it! If it's a shed, not much. In good condition, much more, In outstanding condition, lots more.

They were first sold in 1972. If the car is yours, enjoy using it. There is plenty of advice on how to maintain it on here. It really doesn't matter how much it may be worth unless you simply want to sell it.

A few questions. Mainly about teh 15k mileage. Is that a genuine 15k, with documents to prove ie MoT certificates, service history etc, and the condition of the car, interior and exterior, absolutely perfect? If so it will be worth 10K

Remember, these cars go "round the clock" at 100k. My spitfire did so s few years ago, now showing 10K miles. My friends herald did that twice in his ownership, when he sold it as a project car (it really needed a lot of work, not surprising at nearly 300k) the cheeky buyer re-advertised it as low mileage (despite the MoT showing it had been doing a consistent 10K plus miles a year)

To get a valuation, which is what I think you are after, you need to either join this club and get a free written valuation, TSSC will do one for £30, or as I think you are after a sales valuation, speak to one of the auction houses.

Be aware very low mileage cars are tricky. Some buyers feel they cannot use them in fear of putting more miles on the car and reduce its perceived value, people who want a car to use won't pay the premium for the same reasons. The other issue is that cars that have seen such little or no use in years often need fully recomissioning before use.
