The value was artificially suppressed by government propaganda in 2005:

(Added "Skip to: ' to Permalink #11.)
That's down to the barrier. The posts sheared off and the rail curled up.
And every remaining metro was worth more for being in the remaining number, but less due to the way public perception works.

You mean in a way quite similar to how Mr. Bean made fun of those Reliant tricycles, yet at some smaller degree? |

Here's another one, £15,000 is about $20,000:
Just A Car Guy: someone just scored this factory rally pak equipped 1953 Saab for only £15,000
Quote:

This car is a Mk2 version being a 1953 model which retains early features such as split bumpers, trafficators, glass aviation rear lights, ornate door and window handles, early steering wheel and other unique features. It also features a period extra "Rally Pack" which was introduced in 1953 to celebrate and take advantage of international rally success. This consisted of tougher suspension and additional lights, including a prominent rooftop light just like 1952 Greta Molander's rally winning car.

Me like. I thought it said low miles when I started the post, but I guess not.

That rooftop lights looks quite strange, yet interesting at the same time.

The rear lights were famously taken from Saab's aviation parts bin and are glass wingtip lights from period aircraft models.

Looks to be standard police issue. Would be an advantage for the NAV to be able point it.

An acquaintance has a rooftop light on his classic Mini... now I know what it's all about. (Rally.) |

I only knew those search-lights mounted at the external (usually driver's side) rearview mirror housings as a police-spec device.
