I have a few in the shed/yard:
Bikes:
1929 AJS 350 - Licenced
Original unrestored, with matching engine and gearbox numbers, and it's staying unrestored.....
1948 AJS 500 - licenced
been chopped in the sixties, but I have all the parts to return it to stock. has very rare all alloy 500 competition motor.
1952 Sunbeam S8 - licenced
very original, 45000 miles, bought it from its original owner who brought it over from rhodesia. It was factory supplied in 1952 with the s7 frame .
Sunbeams were never supplied with matching engine and frame numbers.
Has the first s8 engine off the assembly line in 1952.
1954 BSA 250 - Unfinished
Came from an old bloke who got too old to finish it.
reco motor and box - probably sell it to a decent offer.
Car:
1930 Chrysler 70 Roadster - licenced
original running gear, reco motor/box, newly spoked wheels.
bought it from my mates old man, he restored it, rebuilt the motor, spoked the wooden wheels - did the lot. Even hand forged the white metal bearings for the engine.
Original Kalgoorlie car.
no idea what it is worth, but i am thinking of selling it, as i spend all my time on the bikes.
my mate has in my yard:
1926/34/54 International trucks

I ahve my little baby 54 austin A30, love that car
We crammed 8 people into one of these one night.
Winters nite so BO was not a problem
It has also had a fairly recent frame off restoration as well, when the yanks restore a car they really get in to it.
No doubt hoe's machine is worth some money, but as you know receipts for work, books and history can make a lot of difference to price as well so its hard to really put a figure on it. What its worth and what people are prepared to pay for it can be 2 different things as well...
Great car though, I love the older stuff
I have a 65 Mini Deluxe in the the shed , currently undergoing restoration (SLOWLY)
Cheers

I have a 1974 XB Fairmont Hardtop. 351ci 4Speed. I have had it since 1984 (my first car) and love it.
Great sound and a great experience to drive.
