1961 Austin Healey Sprite - Complete for restoration - Appears to be a good / sound project - Well worth the asking price of £4,500 - The registration number alone being worth close to this - although I hate splitting / valuing a plate above a car

Plate would be worth a lot more if they had just added the 16 and 18 together 🤣🤣

Ha ha. Had to think about that one. Worth even more if it was 1618 AD That was the year Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded for allegedly conspiring against James 1 of England. Ok ok so I had to google that.

1983 Opel Monza - Straight & solid car requiring some cosmetics or run as it is - fitted with the 3 litre straight 6 - 180 BHP engine but sadly a auto box - still very capable however - nice interior - get some fresh paint on this and it would make a great car - nicely presented ones are gaining strong money too - At £3k offers invited its cheap
