Rob.. i agree.. but do you now get why having that particular car repaired would take away its value.. it IS one of the rare survivors.. give it a new coat of paint and its a beautiful body and paint job with a slightly worn interior..
Your original post "I don't understand how restoring a car to its former glory would lower its value otherwise no one would ever restore a car." questioned why repairing it would lower its value.. and missed the point that this cars value is its originality.
I would agree originality is a rarity. In your opinion do you think if hypothetically John sold his Alpine would he get the same amount of money that the immaculately restored red series V (I think) got a few years back?
