Subject: Re: 3.0 litre saloon 1933 for sale in Holland
Yep,
Saloons are always expensive to restore and then worth much much less when restored. Mind you the car was dirt cheap when it was for sale before Gert bought it, though even then was still a little too much for me at the time. I hope it finds the right owner.
Mind you, IMHO it's going to cost £30k to do a decent tourer body plus trim and it will then still only be a re-bodied saloon. To get top money as a tourer it will have to be detail-perfect and that is expensive!
