Wash and an oil change, good to go!

Bought in 1990 as an investment , I wonder how that's going to go

 

[Ewan]

If it had been looked after and was running properly, it would be around £50k so maybe not too bad an investment. But having been abandoned in a barn for decades it’ll probably need that spending on it to bring it back up to mustard.

Front right corner is very bad, it might not look it but for it to be that far out of alignment the underlying structure must be bent.

 

[Phil the Brit]

It would be fun having a go at it

Love these, such an elegant looking car. Viable resto job or expensive parts donor...?

Floors are fibreglass iirc.

Since the original owner is dead, I doubt he cares what return he gets.
Providing you're not buying too many parts, it ought to make a profit
if it sells for around £10,000?

If its a DIY , possibly. But if it's done by a specialist(s) then I would think unlikely.
Just thinking Harry Metcalfs espada engine rebuild and then some...

Oops. Forgot about the engine. Good point!

It will sell in the twenties I'd think.

At least if you spent that on it and wanted to keep it there's the possibility it'd increase in value

Imagine 50k leaving your bank account to arrive at this

Horrendous!

The one I used to wear on the bike, or the one I wear in private?
