If I was fixing the Riley, I would rather use new metal than risk using rusty, perforated Japenese metal on a Briish classic ;D ;D ;D ;)

unfortunately you can blame all those stupid classic car mags/programs spouting on about investment/value-unfortunately
people buy into this and see any vehicle that is old is worth lots of money :'( and so rich people buy up cars and seal them away as investments-look how mk1/2 escorts now go for silly money-my consul cost me £400 years ago-now stripprd out worth £2000+ as it is-I would'nt sell it though as always loved them :y
AND I have seen worse cars than those fully restored-not for profit but for love as they spent thousands and may years too

I quite agree.... :( :(

Not so sure about the Riley but the Honda :-\ you are buying the reg and identity, sadly you then go out an nick a good one, this happens a lot with Mini's and Landrovers, I have even seen log book and plates / chassis no's for sale on ebay............. :( :( :(

I dunno you know..  :-\  Had a quick look and came up with these.....

To be honest I've no idea of the costs of restoring cars like this but at a glance it would seem that you would have around £10,000 to play with on the Honda and £15,000 or so on the Riley?  :-\  Assuming you got a top final restored valuation and paid the sellers asking price...  ::)

If you viewed them as long term projects, would it cost as much as that to restore?  :-\

I like the restored Honda.. Very pretty!!!  :-*
