'Take a punt' prices ?

Capri

What would you consider a decent 'take a punt' price on a 'classic' - money you can afford to lose if it turns out to be a pile of loosely connected molecules of rust :mad:

I'd look at 1500 to be the max to pay these days , any more and you could end up feeling a right fool.

Thats true. However much of whats out there around the 3 grand mark are dolled up condition 3 cars which are now crumbling apart each week that goes by.

Would almost prefer taking a punt on the 1500 car and drive it on and take my chances. At least it might be possible to retrieve 50-75% of your outlay down the road if the worst came to the worst.

You would have to think the Jag could be broken for parts worth 1500 ?

Even the mk2 cortina interior, dash and engine should fetch 500

Am I imagining things, or has this Spitfire been shortened?
