just to say hi to all and also to ask for a bit of help. a few years ago we aquired a viva hb race car, it sadly been sat for a long time untouched since its last race back in the 70s i believe, its in reasonable condition concidering its age. we had a customer show some interest in it last weekend and he got it into our heads that it may be worth a vast amount if restored to its former glory and possibly used as a heritage race car.now we dont want to go jumpin 2 feet in and spending lots of time and money restoring the car if it not going to be worth while, not just on a money point of view but also because wed love to race it against other period race cars, if any one has any ideas to what its restored value may be then it would be much apreciated, car is as follows:
viva hb never been road registered (was just built from factory to race tarmac touring car races)
its blue with an orange band down the side of it with blue banded wheels
the engine is a blydenstein 2.0 fully race preped
rollcage and corbeau bucket seat
the car was driven by a well known driver on its last outing and was slightly damaged
i will try to get some pics up of the car in the next week
we also heard from the previous owner that the heritage museum was interested in this car a few years ago but wanted to exibit it in the condition its in now, i believe it needs to be but back to its former glory but would need to know if its going to be worth while,any help would be greatly apreciated.
(also to let you know, the customer that came to us races around 6 period f1 cars and is greatly into the heritage race scene, he valued the car DONE at around 30-40k but believed it may need 15k putting into it) is he right or is it just a dream???
