This has got to be a joke

10 grand for a knackered shell that has some of the worst welding I've ever seen. The rear quarters look warped to hell...

They're selling it as a completed restored car built to your specs, but agreed, the base as it is from the pictures would worry me.

THERE IS NOT ANOTHER RESTORER IN THIS MARKET PLACE THAT CAN OFFER THIS TYPE OF SERVICE,

Indeed!!
Or Fourways
Or Dave Jarman, Geoff Gale, Star Motorsport, Janspeed etc etc

If you read it, I'm sure it reads that it will be restored by spending more than the purchase price.

"SO YOU BASICALLY BUY THE CAR AND WE THEN AGREE A COST TO COMPLETE THE RESTORATION"

So about 59p on top.

Very odd add indeed, The car does look very damaged in a lot of tricky places to repair properly.

I don't think he will be getting many offers, But I suppose he just needs one mug with more money than sense.

Just asked the guy and he wants £10k for the car ubrestored in its current state, and roughly £16k for it restored. He says he has seen restored versrions for upwards of £20k

£10k unrestored - for that?

The guy is an ****, pure and simple.

Some people are really starting to take the **** now with what they think their utter piles of sh#te are worth.

agreed 100%

However ........................................there is no such thing as bad publicity.
the upside of his advert is that it makes other proper vehicles for sale look attractively and realisticly priced

Blimey! £10k as it is?! My car isn't worth £10k and its ever so slightly better than that

 

[andrew muir]

I think everyone's car is better than that!! must be good to know that they are all worth way in excess of £10K

Hopefully what he means by this is that there aren't any restorers that can f*** up a car so badly and actually believe that they have made a good job of it!
