Re: Restore or buy restored ?

[Ashley James]

everything on R-R & B costs a
fortune, even an R Type engine rebuild is likely to be £14k,3 a bare
metal respray plus rust removal can be £35k and complete interior n
early £20k, so worse than a 406, but not much.
I reckon that by doing most of the work myself and using proper
specialists I spent about £40k plus on my 400, but we restored the
leather rather than retrimming, the woodwork was okay, so only
carpets, headlining and sun visors. If you add my hours then £80k I
suppose.
