£38,000 Chummy
#10
Many years ago soon after I started tinkering with old cars the university of life hit me hard after spending hours and hours perfecting (in my eyes) my old car. Then on the rally field appeared a covered trailer from which a similar car to mine was extracted - immaculate in every detail and even had a large mirror underneath to show yet more perfection.
The moral of this story is that no matter how much time/effort/money one can spend on their own vehicle, there is always somebody else willing/able to spend so much more. Go to the Commercial vehicle London to Brighton run next year just to see how many Rollers are on low loaders, their owners just driving 'their' old vehiles on the run with paid minions doing all the pre and post run hidden work. Now, this is where serious money is involved.
So be it, if the new owner is happy with his/her new purchase I wish them all the best, I do my best to keep my Sevens (in this case) running within my means and enjoy every moment whether just tinkering or driving!
Yes, the yellow Chummy is a very expensive purchase in most of our eyes as we possibly know the true value and now the Seven dealers must be rubbing their hands in glee. It's simple really, if you want it and can afford it - buy it.
All is not lost, there are youngsters joining our ranks as I sold one of my cars earlier in the year, it was slightly underpriced so he could fulfill his dream and delighted was he. Me too in helping both the young owner and old car a happy future.
Thank goodnees there are young people willing and able given the opportunity to own their own Sevens.
Peter
