Default Restore 403 or sacrifice for parts?

Interestingly 400s have gone up quite steeply, two have recently
sold for around £25K. These were sound original cars needing some
work and a rather better one made almost £40K. The Bristol problem
is a plethora of scruffy cars, people in the main, won't buy work
and neither can they imagine what a finished properly restored car
might look like. Once there are some really immaculate examples in
eye catching (but original) colours at events like the Goodwood
Revival, I think prices will rise more.
Anything else eligible for so many important historical events fetches
far more than Bristols, which is sad.
