I like this car but it's way beyond my capabilities to restore it, quite expensive too for the condition?

Starting bid seems very optimistic considering what restoration costs would be. Confused

Agreed, re the price,but it is the way of the world at the moment. It has a V5, and presumably a transferable registration, so one or two "philistines" may have an interest Wink

or the special builders may be interested.
If you search on completed listings you'll see Rubys of around that figure actually selling.
My £800 one was a potential bargain, obviously! Smile

As for being beyond the capabilities, they are delightfully simple and if you can use a computer I think you can restore a Ruby. I would Dad's if I didn't have my own Jaguars, P5's, Stag's etc to do Confused

Hi

I have often fancied a A7 Swallow, but are not cheap!

Cheers
