Default how much is your car standing you ??

just as a matter of interest how much have you spent on your pride and joy ? say buying it and any work and mods you have done to it just a rough round about figure, plus how long you have owned it.

Paid £5900 in 1997.
Spent circa 12K in parts since. (Used to do concours in 99/00/01 so much money spent on parts around that time)

Car is currently valued by RSOC at 6K
