Hola, You may or may not know that I own and run the award-winning (no, really) www.not2grand.co.uk. It's growing a bit, and you may be able to help in one area, namely the videos. I've started doing 'your cars' films, which showcase what you own and drive. Of course, the caveat is that the car has to be under £2000, but that;s not market value. So if you have something that's work £10k, but only cast you £1,500, then that's fair game. However, I have to swerve cars that have had a ton of money dropped into them, sorry. I'm constantly on the look out for new cars to film. If you're in or near Bristol, that's even better. Filming normally takes about an hour, and you don't have to be in it if you don't want to be. However, I will need you to tell the story of the car so I can overlay it onto the footage taken. The results look something like this... Fancy it? Drop me a line. Chris |

My 73 Toledo cost me £200 in 2008 and i've spent about £3k since, does that count? I'm not too far from Bristol about an hours drive.   Any good to you? Steve |

I have two contenders. My 2CV and the W124. Both were bought within this year.
While I don't have them anymore I've had a few contenders for Not£2Grand. From 2010 these all qualified, and all were roadworthy. Some are still doable now, others I think you'd have to get lucky now for many of them.!
-2007 Mondeo bought in 2012 for £1.4k; I doubt a 2013 Mondeo would be near that now.
-1979 Triumph Dolomite Sprint bought in 2012
-1977 Triumph Spitfire bought in 2012
-1974 Triumph Stag bought in 2011. However, that's a bad example. While it had tax and MOT for £2k (and only just) it was undriveable when I bought it
-2002 Clio 172 bought in 2015
-1998 BMW 323i Coupe bought in 2014
-1998 Peugeot 106 GTI bought in 2011
-1986 Mini 988 City E, and rust free in 2014!
-1977 MG Midget bought in 2014
It seems the final few years have really pushed the boat out on a few valuations!

I wish my capri was finished and painted it would be a perfect contender, bought for £600 I had an accident and got paid out £1000 for it in 2008, had a silly idea at the pub to get the car fixed and back on road for less than £1000 I wanted an engine for a swap so purchased a mates redtop nova for £400 sold everything else on the car got back around £800 so i was £400 up and kept the engine so that was free, then I needed a front corner for the capri to replace the mangled headlamp bowl and inner wing so purchased another capri for £300 cut the area off, kept the new shockers, the starmags, stainless exhaust and interior for mine so they were free, then sold everything else off the car for around £500 so £200 up on that, the replacement wings I did a parts swap for, I got a new pair of wing rails as a thank you for doing someone a favour, so all in all off the top of my head the car owes me around £400 for parts ive bought

I'm just outside of Bath. Bought my BMW in 2011 for £1100. Then I sold it in 2013 and then bought it back again in 2015 for the price I sold it for which was around £3000. Does that kinda count?   My 3 other cars haven't made it back on the road yet  |
