Queensland 6.9 for sale

[Styria]

Thanks to Timmy, this 6.9 has been spotted on Car Sales. Perhaps the asking price is indicative of the way 6.9s are heading, but this car certainly warrants serious consideration. Photos may lie, but I can't really level any criticism on this car. Anthracite Grey is a great colour, the interior beige/parchment is one of the best on the 116 models, and the interior cannot be faulted. Regards Styria

How about the 6.9 at Shannons upcoming auction

https://www.shannons.com.au/auction...urne-winter-classic-auction/UF76CS9EP5ZF442N/

With a Guiding Range: $5,000 - $8,000

The car does not look that bad in the pictures, however the report paints a different picture!

It looks quite tidy given some of the interior issues one has to address with the Chassis 116 range. Seats front and rear (collapsed pleats), front door trims etc. Given what we have been served up with on previous sales and asking price, I suspect that this car will fetch more than the guiding range. Mind you, selling on Car Sales as compared with Shannons, could one expect a better result from the Internet source ?

I know that Olivier's 6.9 sold for really good money on Car Sales (more than I expected), but it had some body issues, and not withstanding the fact that it had an excellent and comprehensive service history. Regards Styria

Yeah but it's GREEN! Gunmetal grey is much nicer, but costs more....

I think the car is actually green...

Hi Mark,

Silver green metallic according to the Shannon's description.

None the less thank you for the clarification about the cars colour.

Interior & engine bay do look impressive as well.

must have been a real bidding war with multiple people who really wanted it.

Shannons is funny like that, you sometimes get great cars that go for nothing and other times people pay way over to get something they must have. Did you see what the DS23 went for?

DS23 went for $30,500
