Lovely and Ghias are still very cheap when you consider the rise in value of some air cooled VW's. Way prefer the coupes to the convertible Ghia's.
Nice Outlaw 356

1973 240Z. The car featured in Classics Magazine in 2003: front cover and seven page feature. It has just had a fully reconditioned engine installed at a cost of £2k; miles on the 'new' engine less than 100. Additionally, the bodywork (excluding engine bay) was restored and resprayed in 2009 at a cost of £3k

It looks like its been set alight in the forest. The sudpension's collapsed and the seat upholstery has gone, along with the paint. Dreadful.
Awesome!I've had a rant about this before in the previous thread but this is still bugging me.
A lot of you guys are thinking too hard about it all (I don't mean just the 356).
It's as if "concours" is the only acceptable standard! Everything else, apparently, just looks broken or tired or naff.
Personally I hate concours-look cars - they're ruined. They have become such precious articles that they can't even be driven except between shows, which considering most of the time they are sports cars, is insane.
I think I've worked out what it is that I like most. I like cars with character. I don't think it matters what that character is - just as long as it has some. If it's a modified car, it's best when the owner has clearly had a vision in mind and gone with it (or maybe they didn't, but it ended up being a cohesive whole at the end by sheer chance!), and executed it to a decent level. I'm not advocating someone posting that picture of the Metro 4-door with the unpainted 6R4 bodykit and standard wheels - but that 356 above is, in my opinion, a great car. It's not a pristine 356, no - but nor is it trying to be. It's someone's pride and joy, but it's also an expression of themselves, and that I think is the best bit.
If you want concours-pretty cars, you're better off elsewhere. If you want to appreciate cars with some character, with soul, then pull up a chair.
