+ now they will spend £10k restoring the shell

i sold my old one that was mot'd + taxed for £500

[antz]

damn

[mscott]

Is it just me or is that a crazy amount of money to spend on a project?

[petrolhead]

No, it's not just you, I'm of the same opinion. Especially when there is a fair chance that the carbs & engine may be scrap

[mscott]

More than a fair chance its 100 percent. I viewed this car and theres alot of work involved. Its been outside for 20 years!!! I think its time people step back and realise whats happening to the classic car market its getting out of hand!

[petrolhead]

do you mean 100% scrap? someone has just robbed themselves then.....

[antz]

theres a minter of a green mk2 lotus tina on ebay now and i reckon that goes for the high side of £10k

 

some people have more money than sense!

[Chris!]

i said they day it came on it would go for £500, not bad ay

[morcheen]

better get my 3 started then

[mscott]

3 lotuses?

[cossiematt]

I've noticed that there always seems to be more interest in the resto projects than in a half tidy MOT'd car. We do love spending time in the garage

[Johnson]

wow looks mint

[Toby]

I can see a re-shell coming on!

 

I love the line in the ad.....
