I've an early 70's car I bought in the UK that has every single receipt for every item, from tyres to antifreeze that was bought over the 30 years of it's UK ownership, and a stamp in the book for every service from new until I bought it.

unkel wrote: » The fact that it's still driving means it will probably drive on for a long time. Isolated case, I know, but it's a good example of how proper maintenance (read frequent oil changes) can make a difference I agree with the seller (cocoman). I'd be happy to sell it for €1,500 but I would not entertain €1k offers.

Any comments welcome I've been offered €1000 - should I take it and run? I'll get the same trading it in but cash will give me more buying power I presume.
