1960's stuff now tailing off, this is proved by race entries................
1970's and 80's on the climb...........
Simple answer, people born in the 60's ( like me) remember the 1275 GT Championship and Clubmans running in the RAC rally.
Sign of the times I'm afraid

Inclined to agree. Look at 70’s and 80’s stuff. All on the rise. Metros, Ford XR/RS and Japanese stuff. You’re all getting old. (Obvs I’m notbig-un1967 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 12:54 pm 1960's stuff now tailing off, this is proved by race entries................

How much more do you pay for a one owner ? What is the premium ? And we all know they are only original once but does it make my early multi owner GT worth more ? Not bothered really just thought it was an interesting question.

Add £10K's worth of reconditioning and that makes an expensive car.
I know of a freshly restored August 1970 GT on sale for just over half that.
The owner is ust waiting for the warmer weather.

A very expensive car i suppose the question is sympathetic recondition or full strip and paintwoodypup59 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:42 pm Add £10K's worth of reconditioning and that makes an expensive car.

which one would make it more desirable car
And more importantly if bought for resale would a spit and polish or more in-depth resto add much value to £38000

A full restore would surely lower the value ? considering you can buy early restored ones for less than was paid
