I suspect a grand in folding money would buy it if one turned up with a trailer.

You've got a trailer. Done much tinkering on your Amazon recently?

This quite nice looking estate didn’t even get to 2 grand:

… I still find that ‘barn find’ without a MoT that sold for £3,100 inexplicable.

Quite agree Alan, although some are geographical buyers, don’t want to travel.

That may be so. The cost of collecting could easily be £300 - plus a bit of tax, insurance and breakdown cover might be over £600; that is quite a big on-cost for a sub-2 grand motor car. When vehicles get into the top-drawer change category the market is very fickle.

OK, here's a cheap 93 estate in London: £900 MOT just expired and no horrors in previous ones. Shabby inside and needs mechanical work:

Fickle and complex bud. What makes sense appears variable.🤔
