There is one part of the "maths" that you appear to be missing, as you get to sell the parts you don't need.

I actually paid over the odds for a 1980 Spitfire 1500 unfinished project.



But the bits I needed were in great condition, including a rebuilt engine, poly bushes, new wheels & tyres, etc.
( Plus a brand new Moto-Lita steering wheel. )



By the time I sell the last few parts (in a box 'somewhere') everything in the photo above should have cost me less that £200.

Now some would argue it is a shame to break a decent car, but I actually helped to keep a number of other Spitfires on the road.

Anyway, just a thought, cheers, Paul.
