Toledo Values

Hello all,

What're the going rates for solid, running, MOT'd four door Toledos at the moment? Not perfect concours cars, just an honest runner?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Re: The Little White Tolly

Eyup Ken!

Ah the DVLA, always guaranteed tip top service, never have I had any issues with them. Apart from any time I've needed to have anything to do with them. Sounds like the Tolly is coming along nicely, definitely need pictures!!

Hope you're keeping well bud,

Dan

Re: Toledo in York

Well, it's been almost two years, during which time there has been a wobble or two as to whether this was going to happen or not.

Re: Toledo in York

Cheers Ken!
