After seeing a Mk1 being redone on Wheeler Dealers (British buy/fix/resell show) I started to wonder how soon our Mk1s will start to take on the status of collectible?
I'm seeing less and less of the "how do I keep my rusting hulk running?" threads and more of practical rehabs being done. I know mine has been in the garage for a couple of years (motorcycle accident, but doing much better now) and I'm looking forward to restoring it to the point it will be worth something to someone 10 years from now.
I saw where Overhaulin' did a Lotus a while back and I'm seeing where some of the older (C5 or C6?) Corvettes only had a bit over 200 HP, so when will the rest of the world catch on that these are very interesting cars?
We had a car show downtown recently that had an 89 Porsche and numerous other Euro cars. I hope to have mine in there next year.
