... we first noticed this motor car on eBay at £4,000 in January this year. Since then the same has been variously marketed on eBay and C&C, in its latest incarnation the asking price is down to £2,500 ONO.

The seller has done nothing to it - the motor car still has a rusty hole where the boot floor should be.

I still think it is worth less than a grand.

:-)

The decimal point is still too far to the right in the price IMHO. It's a brave restoration or parts mule really, someone would really have to want it as a base for resto to pay anything more than £250 but i think a respray in either Ford Chestnut Brown Metallic or Vauxhall Hazel Brown Metallic, both period colours and both much nicer than its current shade would improve its looks considerably.



Vauxhall Hazel Brown Metallic ^^^^^

By the time it's been repaired, refurbished and resprayed, you've spent £2500 minimum if done on a DIY basis. You then have a car worth £2500-3500 so trying to sell "as is" for that isn't a good idea!
