Overpriced.....What do people think about these people?
Their prices for cars and parts seem totally ridiculous. On E bay at present body mounts kit £200 when paddocks sell the same kit for £70.
Well in my case Hobble on by. Doesn't have the same ring to it thoughEasy for you to say.![]()
I read one of their build logs a while back, the acid dipped every metal part to get back to absolute bare metal, then worked on repairing it all. Not a lot of original metal left, arguably a new car. After a few customer upgrades were added that car was valued at a few grand over 200k.I've often looked at ads for totally restored vehicles and wondered what their definition of totally restored is. If I was going to do a full restoration of my 109 station wagon and do as much of the work as possible myself, I reckon the final cost would be in the region of £20k that would include having the engine, gearbox, transfer box and diffs professionally overhauled and a professional respray. If you gave the same vehicle to a restorer and asked for the same spec the cost would be at least double that. At the end of it all you would have a nice vehicle that was worth less than half of what you'd spent £100k for a properly restored Classic rangerover sounds about right.
