Norsk Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hello I have the option on a 1965 Hotchkiss that needs some minor work. There is on advertised on Nilsen for £17K. My question is,og I invest time and money in a Hotchkiss jeep am I realistically going to get my money back out of it someday? You can't keep something forever.

graffiti Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Go for it, if it’s not too expensive you will nearly always recoup your money,... Let us know if you do buy it and some pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I agree with above although judging a future market is a bit of a dark art. Bring someone knowledgeable when inspecting the jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The seller is being a bit ambitious with his price in my opinion. For a Hotchkiss to be worth that I would expect it to be immaculate and be fitted with a lot of extras eg 50 cal etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graffiti Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I think you’re right... There are a lot of sellers at present who just won’t budge on ambitious prices, there have been two that interested me, (one has been advertised for sale since May where I offered £1500 less than asking price) but neither will negotiate on price.. Both weren’t anything special in my opinion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The asking price to me seems far too high , 1980 - you had trouble selling them for £2000 until you painted a white star on the bonnet , many of these are now sporting what are considered (by some) to be a better set of wheel rims etc. etc.. More fundamental - is it a real unmolested M201 ? or some form of Hotchpotch . I rate a genuine M201 , however - not approaching £17K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
