Default The value of these old cars

Somehow, regardless of the make and condition, the values placed on these cars is a bit staggering, and my experience with older British cars has not been that impressive. Even Astons are rusters, and ony one in the three I owned was decent in the bodywork. It was as if they took no precautions in rustproofing the cars. Same will all six E-Types I owned. And the Jensens, well.....Estimating value has to be taken with consideration on condition, for many of us do not get past the great paintjob or the nice interior. Rust repair is expensive, and rebuilding engines and transmissions will make most weep.
