Default questions about value and selling

evening all, firstly just to say I am uk based. I have a 1991 4.0 facelift car. it is I believe one of the first 50 cars produced, I am the third owner and it has a genuine 30.000 miles on the clock from new. it is also a factory fitted 5 speed manuaul gearbox. so far so good , it has had the underside stripped of underseal and after inspection repainted in high quality epoxy mastic paint which was then stonechipped over. zero corrosion.front and rear suspension removed fully from the car and rebuilt using new or reconditioned parts so in mint condition there with less than 100 miles on the clock since completion. the body work has what may be described as age related marks. ie the bonet has suffered from stone chips andover time these have blistered slightly but certainly not rotten. minor other blemishes which are not rot but more the passing of time if that makes sense. the wheels were refurbed with the other work ,the chrome is all good and the interior is as you would expect from a 30k car. head lining excellent. now ive hopefully painted a picture, any suggestions to the value? and would you have the bonet resprayed to make as new or leave as is for originality? many thanks for all positiveinput.

Under additional options select manage attachments then browse your computer for the .jpg photo files and then upload. Then after the files complete uploading close that. You will then have thumbnails in your post that can be enlarged when selected.


I use this method after struggling with and finally giving up on the insert photos method (like from photobucket except I could never get it to work on this forum).

Go to 'Go Advanced' (directly under the box that you type in) and then scroll down and select 'Manage attachments'.
Easy peasey after that and then just 'Close this window' when you are done.
If you want to check then select 'Preview post' before submitting.

That is news to me, I can't find anything either federal or state that restricts registration of RHD vehicles. There are several old postal trucks around here with regular plates on them I believe and no problem registering my RHD RR. Do you have any links to clarify that ? We may be moving to Austin so would be helpful to know.

Not to my knowledge, I know of several RHD vehicles here in Jacksonville area, minis, Jaguars etc that are on the road and RHD.
