As a comparison to the Amilcar.Several years ago I purchased a 1930 RK,still in its original paint sight unseen,only in photographs in which it was described as "Excellent body condition" by a respected dealer.
It hadn't been on the road for many years,the tyres suggesting pre MOT.
It was not as the description bodily and could have been an ideal candidate for an Ulster replica.I had the body repaired,costing around £3 1/2k,wood and steelwork required .I guess the value of a restored RK as about £12k,as an ulster Maybe £20k ?
The Amilcar looked lovely,however trying to keep the oily rag look if the timber frame is dodgy would be difficult and guess it would be more desirable as a "Sports" and same with value too.
