Michael,
That is the cost for a reasonable restoration for a car like the
saloon and probably its top value. I have more than that "invested" in one
I restored over the past 3 years. It is not a "steal" but if you like these
cars as I do, buy it. Mechanical parts are not too hard to come by but
available from just a few suppliers mostly in England. Body parts are
virtually unavailable.
Regards,
Bob
