My Cerb isn't the best - any point in thinking of selling?
Discussion
I have a couple of genuine reasons for selling - firstly I've been running my own business for a little over a year and putting most of what I earn back into the business in order to grow it, so finances are constrained at the moment.
Secondly, I work from home mostly and have a shared office in town which is a tiny drive away and mostly through town traffic.
Due to both the above reasons, I'm thinking of selling up. I just don't use the/a car much lately and would have to take it off the road for several months should any big unexpected bills crop up.
My problem is that whilst the good examples seem to be sought after, the slightly-rough-around-the-edges examples don't seem to generate much interest. My car has some nice upgrades, but the paint isn't the best and the chassis will definitely need some care in the next year or two.
Does anyone still buy a Cerb looking for an on-going project?!

Thanks for the input guys.
Stunned Monkey and OutlawFlat4 - do you mind me asking what sort of condition your cars were when you bought and what sort of price you paid? PM if you'd like.
Paul - The chassis isn't great, no holes anywhere (other than the tops of the outriggers which I can't check) but there is a lot of surface rust, especially around the rear which is less usual for a Cerb! I managed to use some Kurust on the whole of the rear section last year, but it'll definitely need a body off restore at some stage. You're quite correct though, there are quite a few small jobs that would improve the car greatly.
Jimmy - I'll be in touch soon!
