Canterbury Convertibles

Post by **Ondergard** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:40 am

Has anyone heard of this firm, in particular?

I came across their site today. They appear to specialize in Minor Convertibles, which they have restored or whatever themselves.

They have a truly beautiful maroon convertible, which appears to be perfect in every way, and has only done 48000.

The thing is they want £12,500 for it!! Does anyone really pay that amount of mone for a Morris Minor, no matter how perfect??

Canterbury Convertibles are a well established company.

Yes - someone on this site spent around £14,000 on a traveller built to their own specification. It's comparable to the price of a new car but with less depreciation although you'd never get back what you paid for it. If money was no object I'd rather spend it on a classic than a modern car

I agree with that.

You might have fun convincing the insurance company that it is worth £12,500

I reckon that would be easy. It's convincing them of the £12,500 value that might be tricky (drum roll and rimshot, did I win the race to get this in?)
