I think you're being wildly over optimistic.  I'd be amazed to see a bugeye
without some Healey or Sprinzel race history go for more than $25k in the next
10 yrs.

Time to face reality guys...   Bugeye vlaues are and have been climbing and
will continue to get even higher in the not too distant future.  I said around
5 yars ago that within 15 years you will see 50k for concours examples.  Dont
belive me just wait nd see:)  Didnt make a whole lot, lots were destroyed over
the years, typical British rust issues added to the mortality, and it is a
cult car (no not a cult in the bad way).  The car mentioned has its faults but
if it was done with good workmanship then yea he will get it.  Try to build
one that looks as nice and i will bet you end up with that much if not more
invested.

Better strt checking the insurance values for replacement.
