I'll say. Throw it out there in the usual spots and they'll be crashing down your door. That is if the euro doesn't crash first ;)Quote:

Now is not a good time I would suspect unless you have the best of the best: Euro is significantly down (I am starting to look in Europe again), Greece (Spain, Ireland, Portugal) turmoil, Germany in the dumps. Then again, not sure there will be better times ahead anyway.

Getting ready to sell my 68S SWT and would like to advertise it in Europe also. Just looking for advise on where to advertise and maybe some help getting it posted.
I have considered Ebay and I've talked to a someone about selling on consignment. Any help would be appreciated.
I would advertise it on the The Early S registry equivalent in the UK. DDK....

You will need to join but it's free. We are a friendly bunch and you will have the UK early 911 crowd looking at your ad which is what you want. However, I must say I get the feeling selling is slowing down and you may have to have a keen price or something very special to attract a sale (shipping/import tax etc etc). There is an equivalent site in Italy that I know about also but all ads are in Italian and you will need Andrea (member on here) to point you in the right direction.

I would try the usual channels: Anamera, classic driver, Euro clubs asentioned above and all the US spots as well (Here, Pelikan, etc.).
For a more sophisticated and costlier approach you might putads in the big magazines such as Classic & Sports Cars, Oldtimer Magazin, etc.
With the Wuro down at around $1.24 from the mid $1.40s and increasing economic volatility in Europe you might find it easier/ faster to sell here, especially if the car is not absolutely top notch.

I have European buyers and send them cars all the time. The Euro is where it was in 1Q '06 and those were 'buying frenzy' days, so that's not really a problem. The thing is, you have the one model that should sell better here in North America. Europe got the '68S. The US did not.
Scarcity should make the car more valuable here.
For a large part of Europe, you can advertise on www.mobile.de
Various early fans look at that, but it's a paid advertisment.
However, there are also a lot of free of charge 'local' craiglist kind of sites like:
www.marktplaats.nl for the Netherlands
www.kapaza.be for Belgium
I'm sure that if you post it on this board and/or Pelican, you will get to the majorityof the EU oversees buyers to.
