Rarities On The Road
Pete:
Looks as though someone has tried to make that tina look like a lotus. I had one back in 74. Followd by a 1600E with a BDA motor, that could pick its feet up a bit.
Capri. If you want the best, look for the Koln built 3.1 RS, they are really rare now, and all the genuine ones are LHD.

according to my boss they have been in there for about 25 - 30 years and will all end up being scrapped (unless i can persuade them they are worth ton's, to sell them)
as the land has just got Planning Permission for Houses :(

Unfortunately, neither are worth a great deal. The Minor looks like a 1962/3 model. Maybe £300-£400 at best assuming it is not a total rust bucket.
Not quite so sure about the Cortina, not my area of expertise, but again I would suggest it's only in the hundreds. Certainly not thousands anyway!
There are still plenty of Minors around. The Ford is a bit rarer. Personally, I think the Mk1 was a very pretty car.
Range Rover Blues:
The 'Tina is a pre-aeroflow model, '61 or 62 at the latest (hence the number, plus the bonnet badge should say 'Consul') the plate alone is worth a bit but if the shell is solid then it's worth a lot. These cars are worth stealing just for their shells, get it on flea bay, it would be absolutely stupid to scrap them.
I'd have the Tina off you tomorrow for what it's worth as scrap.

Really? There are several in the classic press at the moment. Nice presentable 4dr ones are being advertised between £2000 and £3000. So, I'd be amazed if a barn find got over £1000. 2dr ones seem to be the sought after option. There's one on eBay at the moment with 20 hours to go at £435.
Or is it just the early ones that are more sought after? I appreciate old Fords are your specialist area :D
Certainly too interesting to scrap though. It would be a real shame.
