Re: Chummy: 25/28k are these cars worth this money ?

If you want one which has super history and is in superb condition.
Then I think they are.

Chummy: 25/28k are these cars worth this money ?



Being the pedant that I am, it depends what you mean by "worth this money".

If you can get the same thing for less, then the answer is no.

If you mean could you sell it tomorrow for the same price or more, the answer is possibly.

If there are lots of other people prepared to pay this, it becomes "the going rate" and the answer is maybe.

If owning it would give you £28k worth of pleasure, the answer is yes.

Personally, I couldn't afford this and if I could, I wouldn't. Figures like this, if paid, are inflationary and price genuine enthusiasts who are not in it for the money out of the market.

Hi Martin,

I think you are half way there, you have a common owners problem.

When you are looking to buy, or don't has the money to buy. Things are always worth far less.

Waite till you are looking to sell, things will be worth far more.

As for the question of are chummies worth £25 to £28k

Some are, and some are not.

A 1922 will always be a lot higher in price than a 1930.

I take it the question is asked because of the two on ebay.

The answer is yes ( early ) chummies are worth £25 to £28k. But they have to be the best in the best condition. Original cars.

NOT NOT NOT the poorly restored, useing cheap and incorrect part. And wrongly advertised cars.

The trick is being able to tell the difference between the two???
