Why do some sellers encourage buyers to destroy a good car?

[Ray White]

I suggest that if someone has no intention of restoring that Ruby - or even just making it road worthy - because they are hell bent on creating a so called "special" it will not have been the vendor's suggestions in the advert that brings about it's demise.

It is simply a sad reflection of the times in which we live that our motoring heritage is regarded with disdain by, mainly, a generation more in tune with smart phones than old cars..
