Mine is a good one, but already spent over £2k to get it close to how I want it.

They are fabulous to own but frustrating as well I've spent similar amounts on V4 but when it comes to selling a car with all work done and a history that others cannot match no one is at all interested at what I consider to be a reasonable asking price. Looks like V4 will just stay in his garage for a few more years.

Quite right Dave, people unless actually serious about owning a proper classic just look for the best of the cheap ones to work with which as we know can be false economy. (engine rebuild in the first 2 months of ownership anyone?)
