Re: Preparing for the end.
sort of my point Keith
much adu about nothing. If you are wealthy, then you are the exception and already have everything in place. |

Re: Preparing for the end.
Comments about values over time are important considerations. I had a 68C back in the 1980s and I recently realized that now 30+ years later that same car would cost me less to acquire today....

Re: Preparing for the end.
so Katy, somewhat similar to here in the US.
J franklin- I woulkd agree with clifford on some of that.....A 400s selling on BAT for 22k and 30k respectively. They couldnt have been bought that cheaply just 5 years ago. While many of the basic cars are just holding their own, some of the expensive models have dropped ridiculously. which could be a good thing, if youre not selling. |

Re: Preparing for the end.

Yeah but…….these days with the cost of restoration (materials, labor, machine shop, plating..on and on) you’re going to be upside down in any Model A. It cost about as much, sometimes more, to restore a basic closed car (coupe, Tudor, Fordor) as a A400, 180a, cabriolet. Albeit the cabriolet is loaded with plating! Of course the initial cost is more but more apt to recoup more dollars out of the rarer styles than the mass produced, large production basic body styles. Of late, I’ve seen basic well-restored coupes/tudors going for $10k ish; got to be 1/2 to 1/3 of invested cost Imho |

Re: Preparing for the end.
so moral of the story is to buy the best car you can......cheaper in the long run.
an old restoration can be much more affordable then a new one, at todays labor and materials rates. |
