When I was a lad I had a 1937 MG NA 1286cc 6 CYL OHC bought for £45 sold a couple of years later for £47.50.
It's speculators like you who ruin it for the enthusiasts!
I think I've mentioned before that in the 1970s, a friend paid £800 for an early lot at auction, discovered it wasn't running on all cylinders and managed to sell it later in the same auction. He even made a small profit which impressed as all greatly. The car was a Jaguar E-type.
I have a bundle of catalogues from the old Shoreham Lighthouse Car Auction with prices written on. Looking at them now makes me weep.
