This Traveller on ebay is priced at £17,950. It has been on there for months and did not get any bids last week at £7,950.

I wonder how it can be worth another £10,000 this week ?

The value hasn’t changed
Funny that you mention those two models of car. I remember Performance Cars Ltd at Brentford - run by a Mr Goldsmith, who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. More years ago than I care to remember I bought an MGTC and could have bought a (pretty rough!) 3litre Bentley for the same price. To a young man, the MG was much more appealing! What on earth would even a rough 3litre Bentley be worth now
The Performance Cars I knew of was at the side of the Chiswick Flyover, on the M4. Chequered Flag wasn't far away. It 35 years since I saw either but now I think of it, there was a chrome bumper BGT V8 (With I seem to recall 50 or 60000 on the clock), in Chequered Flag (I'm sure that's where my father bought his Frazer Nash - he was working for AFN at the time and someone, from the works, went with him, as there were two similar cars for sale there), for £5500. There were also a couple of very tidy Midget 1500s for around £2300. I seem to remember a Triumph TR6 and a Spitfire but it is a long time ago!!ManyMinors wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 9:16 amFunny that you mention those two models of car.

As somebody else has already said - it is largely just supply and demand - plus, don't forget that it would cost a great deal of money to carry out a full restoration on a Traveller.
It'll be the same place. Brentford and Chiswick are adjoining. Performance Cars were on the junction of the Great West Road (The A4) and Windmill Road and the M4 goes over the top nowBlaketon wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 10:59 am
