I do all of the work on my cars so what they are worth to me is the time I have put into the cars, working on restoring every panel or the body itself etc. It means more to me to spend a lot of time doing the work myself than pay for someone else to do it. If I were to add up the number of hours spent and multiply that by the salary I used to get in my last job, I'm sure it would run into many thousands!agwozencroft wrote:Assuming you can afford the cost of improvements, does it really matter if you spend much more on your Moggie than you can sell the car for, if at the end of the day, it brings such a great deal of pleasure to you personally ?-snip-

Re: What's your Morris Minor worth to you?
I'm often asked if my trav is for sale. It would be, at the right price.
If someone offered me 25,000€ I'd sell it
20,000€ probably well, OK, yes
15,000€ and we're getting iffy, what with the hassle & cost of finding a replacement, and for that you don't get the Newton Commercial seats, you can have the originals which are still in good nick
10,000€ no way

Hi Mary I would love to barter prices with you.
Within one sentence you came down £10,000 so another paragraph and it might be for free
