I know it's easy for me to get there, but I thought it a decent venue - I'd been nervous about the food, but they seem to have pulled their fingers out - new management, I suppose. Jeremy's cake very good!

What a brilliant car that is. Next on the list when I've cleared the decks (if I ever will). Great to see everybody - we really must do this more often. But - what happened to Colin? (Cra-arc, that is).

Resident OVP Expert Posts: 2,697 Group: Members Member #11 Joined: November 6, 2005	Good stuff, I'll get my photos up when I can. Had a good day and enjoyed seeing all the cars! Nice food as well! Want to ask, what do you (especially those who've bougth 16vs recently) reckon mine's worth, its this one below in case you didnt know. 2.5, 116k miles, rebuilt engine, gearbox, new clutch, other bits and bobs. Nice inside & out. Almost no history though. Also I always thought the rear is sitting too low?? Shame I missed out on the cake.. Edited by pentoman, Sat Mar 7, 2009 7:51 pm.

Serial victim... Posts: 6,842 Group: Members Member #1,403 Joined: June 13, 2007	Well it looked all right to me. Cars are really hard to price at present, but I have noticed that projects/breakers are apparently only rarely available now and actually q. expensive. To someone who loves these cars then the cosmetic condition is secondary to the mechanical. What happened to it a year ago is more important than what happened, say five years ago. You can do preventative maintenance of corrosion (up to a point) but you can't preserve a sha66ed engine. I'd say �3.5... But if things getbetter and the market picks them up, then possibly more...
