How many miles on each? Changing an engine is stretching a point and 500 quids worth of professional bodywork only scrapes in because it didn't cost you.

To be fair I think we should make the distinction between daily drives and non. I've had my GT6 a few years now, 3 or 4 MOTs, I can't remember. So far the cost of fixes for the MOT is zero, zip, nada, nothing. Same for tax and insurance costs about 35 quid a year. Not really fair to compare it with orange tho because it cost a lot more, has done maybe a third of the miles and only comes out to play when it's dry.

Well, my 700 quid's worth of V8 Sprint off ebay cost me nothing to get through its first MoT, nor the second, though I did need some tyres in between the two

Not bad for a car that was generally considered as being sold by an ebay scammer...



I seem to remember offering to buy the chap a pint though, after each MoT
