I think your car could be a 50k car if sold at the right time.

Agreed. A lot of work has gone into that car. Although to get a maximum value you might want to think about the interior, as in my opinion, the interior colour might be considered a bit marmite.

I know, I am not sure about the market and maybe it could get worse.

Should I pull the advert and keep until next year, from July 2023 it qualifies for import into the states, that could make a difference.

I want to sell it, but not at all costs.

Seeing as I live in Texas, I don't have any choice but to wait until July 2023. Your's look worth the wait.

A question, seeing as I've been following the saving salvage cerb body off videos on youtube.

Seeing as you've had the body off for all that glorious chassis work, how did you manage to get the interior back in one piece?

I've always viewed cerb ownership with the 'big 4' deal breaker (or value reducers).
- Chassis condition
- Engine condition
- Paintwork condition
- Electrics condition

Now I know that list pretty much covers all bases but a resto / rebuild of any one of those is going to set you back a thick wedge.
Seeing as you've invested both time and money in this project, you now have a near perfect cerb; is keeping it an option? considering you'll have about as much peace of mind with it as you can for a TVR.

It is an option that I can keep it, maybe because I haven’t asked for 50k is the reason it hasn’t sold? I have another business venture on the go at present and the funds from the sale would help kick start this. But I don’t want to part with it but it would help if I did.
