Morris Minor and Talbot Sunbeam

[rusty789]

What are these two worth, very little information on either, I'm only really interested in the Morris Minor, but I'll probably have to take both as a package!

Morris Minor Series II 1952-1956 (not sure what year it is)



Talbot Sunbeam (literally all I have is a picture)



Pretty much all I have to go on, probably going to have a look at them tomorrow, worst case scenario what are they worth really?

[avengertec]

If you are interested in selling the sunbeam or don't want it drop me a pm with a price

[rusty789]

What would you want to pay for it? I'm in two minds, do I spend a small amount of money and time getting it on the road, but tatty then sell it or just move it on as it is...

Even if the Sunbeam is crispy on all the edges, we all know that they fetch strong money. If you buy it cheap enough and can't be bothered with it, I'd stick it straight on eBay, let the market decide, and make a few £££ in the process.

[rusty789]

What's strong money though? Are we talking £100's? £500's? £1000's?

Basically I work with the guy, I don't want to screw him over but I also don't want to pay over the odds.

[avengertec]

Depends how rot it is
Where a outs are you located

[rusty789]

The cars are in the twickenham area, I'm near Basingstoke

[avengertec]

Ok off you decide you want to sell it get a few pics together of the floors sills and wings
Give me a pm and I will send you my email and I will pay you a fair price based on similar recent sale on ebay ,cars and classics , etc
I am looking for a new project let me know what you think
Regards keith

mr rusty - i could be interested in the sunbeam as well, so would appreciate being involved in the bidding war

[rusty789]

None of this helps me with what to pay the guy though!

Worst case scenario, what's it's value? I'm talking not running and stuff like sills and wings need doing? Then on the other hand, I can get it running, sills aren't too bad, but needs a bit of patch work?

Sunbeams really aren't my thing, so I've literally never looked into them, eBay is hard to gauge as most are complete/working/lotus...

[rusty789]

Just so I'm not completely random posting about values, this is normally my sort of thing... (both mine, both have been to a fair few shows now, both completely different, both brilliant fun!)

[avengertec]

I would say they both look like 300 quid looking at the grass tickling the floors
But without any more info or pics it's really impossible to give an accurate price
If the floors and sill are sound then prob 6-800 more pics would make it easier to price

I'll update this with better pictures once I've got a better look myself.

Hopefully this weekend if I have time/good weather.

[avengertec]

Ok I will keep a look out I am very interested in it

[avengertec]

Did anything come of these ?

[rusty789]

Still not had chance to get down there properly! I've been talking to a couple of people via pm.

[avengertec]

Ok cool keep me informed

[skylinedave]

300 quid each sounds about right . if they are bad they will still maybe sell for 450-500 each . the sunbeam may fly if you stick it on ebay . i would just plonk both on there with good descriptions and let the market decide as well . easy and simple way to deal with them if you make loads simply give some more to the chap after if you feel you made to much .

he gets rid of the cars , you flip them and both make some ,money .

[avengertec]

Any luck with these
