Bob, better be careful, a) these prices are not necessarily "true prices" as
you not necessarily can get cars as stated for the price stated. As
assessing cars and evaluating them, I find, that most cars offered as
condition three would actually rather fit four plus as the twos would rather
be threes and so on. This list is mostly compiled by studying ads and we all
know that ads are overstating most of the time. I have a TR6 (Dave will
know) that will be classified as condition three. However, I will not get
this car anywhere for the price stated in the list, I'd expect at least to
have to pay a premium of another 1000 pounds. 3k DM (whatever bucks) for the
simple reason stated above. b) cars exported will need in all instances work
to make them pass the local roadworthyness test as for different local
regulations which means the price is only valid for a car that has all the
necessary documents to immediately bring it on the road and a current (and
new) certificate of roadworthyness.
(nothing against your car, don't even know it)
