The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Re: Trials project
When it was on eBay in March it sold for £1,400 to the present seller with several bidders involved and it's now showing as "no longer available" so someone thinks it's worth it.Comment

Re: Trials project
When complete and running cars can be had for approx. double the asking price of this project {DC's for one} I cannot see how £1450 is justified.Comment

Re: Trials project
FWIW Q67 cost £375 to start with and even doing everything myself the final cost I estimate was about £2750, so it ain't cheap to do - but it's a hobby.Comment

Re: Trials project
I understand where you are coming from dogoncrazy and whilst the financials don't stack up sales of projects on eBay tend to attract bids anywhere from around £800 up to £1,500 (usually with an engine though). People tend to underestimate the cost and effort of getting a car back on the road in decent condition... or as DC says, for some it's a hobby.Comment
