So... nobody has ever bought a project car which cost more than it ought to have (as far as others are concerned)?
I get that a trader looking to buy a project car is going to weigh the economics; a private buyer doesn’t have to make a profit. I spent as much restoring my Split Screen Crew Cab as it would have cost me to restore a Samba; I spent far more on the 145S that I had years ago than I got when I sold it; the Standard 10 I’m restoring will struggle to sell for more than the paint is likely to cost!
The Express is an interesting project, I remember Tony Barrett had one. Someone will buy it eventually, but it’s a very narrow market.
