I've just sold one after a light restoration and the costs werent too expensive.

As long as its complete with no parts missing it shouldnt be too bad.

I saw that bidding was closed with 0 bids. This strikes me that the dealers who specialize in restorations view it as a money pit and would not touch it.

Spoke to the number one dealer for these in the UK last year and he said he won't buy a Dino now that he hasn't sold before. Had his fingers burned apparently - and he knows them inside out.

We priced the last project Dino on ebay for four (yes 4) different clients & the final costings came out at around £35,000 labour + parts etc (& we aren't expensive!!!!!).
Guaranteed that most that have yet to be restored will require similar work once they're stripped IMO.
