IMO some people need to get their heads out of the sky on this forum and realise that the coop is not the car that they imagine. And no matter how much they preach about keeping it standard and not modding it, it is happening and no matter what they say the coupe is a cheap affordable fast car and not a classic

Jim, I don't think it would be worth any more if it was standard. My car is not standard so I hope you're not refering to me? I would love for your car to sell for more than I predicted as it would ultimately help raise the value of mine (all of ours for that matter), but I just don't see it happening. If you can't handle the truth, you shouldn't have asked peoples opinions

There are always two camps in any car club, modders and keepers. And never the twain shall meet

Put it all back to standard, and sell me all your tuning bits for a knock down price.

Heh? Since when was I a purist.? Plenty of mild mods on my car but nothing that cant be undone in a few hours of spanner turning.

Its nasty styling mods that wreck your car, the folk that add all manner of tupperware to their rears.

There's plenty of classic MG's and such like running mild mods, extra cooling, uprated heads etc. it does nothing to harm resale value unless the buyer is a) a bearded real ale drinker with a penchant for pipe smoking or b) a concours d'elegance judge with no friends

Another factor is that mods become so much more acceptable when they are overcoming shortcomings of the original design. Take that company that was on Top Gear who re engineered old XJS's and sold them for thousands more.
