Its worth whatever someone will pay for it.

Being 1949 it should be a lowlight model which will increase its value. They are not hens teeth rare but are certainly a little unusual.

As with any car though the whats it worth quesiton is unanswerable as it depends so much on the condition of the car in so many different areas. Good luck with the sale.

If I had time and space, I would love to have it. A little lowlight to call my own... I'm sure someone on here'll take it off your hands though :)

With the scarcity and high cost of parts for these early cars ra28gt, I do hope that anyone that takes it off your hands gives you a fair price.
