Good man...Personally I'm glad one of them escaped the breakers....
The fact is the greedy dealers are pricing rebuild projects too highly to make them financially viable for the average Joe..That though, has been the situation for a long time....I've long understood, from practical experience, that most rebuild projects are overpriced and the finished bikes are undervalued...This leads to the sad (IMO) situation that the only way it works to make an actual profit is to break the machines and charge top dollar for everything...
The average restorer generally doesn't account accurately for the true, fully inclusive cost of a rebuild...If they did they would scare themselves...I think most sellers of restored bikes rarely recoupe their costs if they have done the job thoroughly and correctly....Ian
Hi Steven, well done for putting another M20 back on the road, I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
Not sure about your opinion of the REME however, there is as good an argument that they won the war for us as there is for many other aspects of HM forces and you will find several ex members of that elite formation in this hobby too.:smiley:
I heard the Royal Army Catering Corps being desribed as an elite unit recently, and several of them did land at Arnhem, but it may be the case that you really wouldn't want to upset them.
