Adrian Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Er in doors wont let me get another car but I'm curious and we have had a few discussions about the value of cars but saw this on e bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203522397044?hash=item2f62e15374:g:ZEIAAOSwIWNg6zQI an import in what I think is poor condition (but seems structurally sound) that probably needs a full rebuild. Its LHD which drops the value but a Mk2 that raises it a bit. It got me thinking, a wreck of a standard mini can cost pennies to £1500 but complete would probably only be valued at £4-5K but cost significantly more to complete. Same with this GT6+ not what I'd call a desirable car being LHD but would require a significant cost to restore. Do you work to a formula or just let your heart and desire dictate the price?

Clive Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Looks fair price. The main costs with a restoration is the welding/panels, so if that is all sound you are saving many thousands. A bonnet is nearly 2K new, and they will probably need fettling to fit. And worth remembering the cars usually cost more to restore than they are worth. But IF I wanted a really good mk2 GT6, this would be of interest. Careful inspection needed of course. I know some of the imports needed all sorts of unexpected work as buyers (wrongly) assumed they would be rust free and straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
