A customer recently asked for our thoughts on restoring a
classing early 1970s MG.
Now you may be wondering just what this has to do with
something such as Sydney luxury car hire. Well, nothing really! As you might have guessed though, we have a
deep interest in motor vehicles here at Bayside Limousines and some of us have
dabbled in this area.
So, here are a very few and very basic tips if you’re
contemplating engaging in a classic car restoration.
1. Don’t even think about making a profit out of
it! About 99% of all people restoring classics end up hugely under-estimating
the costs and that can destroy any profit margin possibilities. If you’re
restoring as a hobby and for your own use, then great. Don’t make the “classic
mistake” of assuming that you can take your purchase plus restoration costs,
add on 50% when finished and then sell it to an army of eager buyers – you’ll
probably be disappointed!
2. Look for classics that need restoration but not
those that really are only fit for scrapping. It’s sometimes a very fine line
and expert advice might be advisable. Read more about Restoring a Classic Car.
