When restoring a classic, it is always wise to make more than a bit of a cost in order not to lose sight of reality. Completing the job always costs more than expected. That is why there are awful many of those half-finished 'pastries' in barns waiting for decades to end. That is often the Old Iron 'specialist', because nobody sees a hole in it. That is also the feeling we had when we saw the Austin-Healey 100 / 6 traced here in the British Nuneaton, which the selling party thought it dated to 1957. Sent to the left, a vague chassis number and no identity papers ... The previous owner - maybe owners? - had been messing around nicely. Both on the chassis and the coach. No engine, no gearbox, entire pieces of sheet metal on the front and rear were missing, not a single part of the interior. So actually lost without reason, at least never more economically justified to restore. In fact, only a few parts could still be used to keep another Healey alive… With dry eyes, the owner wanted 5 mille for it. Yes, in British pounds. Due to the highly degraded value (...) of the euro, that amount can be multiplied by 1,3. So serious money ..., even too much for just the parts.
