I reckon the valuation will be £9k.

also, any bets on which BMW the "specialist" will arrive in? We've had 8 series and e46 3 series, I reckon an E39 5 series this week
E24 635

Sticking with my valuation of £11,250

At least this now gives me a reason to watch until the end of the programme - because the preceding 29.5 minutes won't.

He'll rock up in a 2002 and advise £11k. But this week I cannot go and corner the market on MGB's currently on E-Bay until I shift my lot of LHD E-Types and 911's which I seem to have paid too much for

Based on the other valuations I'd say around £3million.

Common conversion - the ride height is the problem.

Voiceover confirmed my original valuation £4-8k. Why was that Impala right-hand drive? Can't recall early 60s Yanks being built that way, they were all imported to order.

I'm going ape here - they reckon that MG invented the leaf spring, and that the car left the factory with a fabric sunroof. And the rear axle was replaced "in situ" - how the hell did they check the alignment?

I can only assume this programme is made so that anyone who knows even a little bit about cars, restoration and/or motoring history can feel more knowlegeable than the presenters and particularly the voice over person.

Now there's a thing - an aid to the self-worth of motoring enthusiasts. Well, thanks Channel 5, from the very bottom of my heart.
