Especially after the starlet incident where all that T-cutting earned me a big fat NEG! .... but, in some cases even I agree a day's polishing can be a worthwhile exercise. "Hello, is that PDQ metal recycling?" "Hello, is there any space left at this years Pebble Beach?"

The feller was not happy with the condition of the Starlet!!! Rust spot on the roof not mentioned, another on the rear valance and so on. Reckons i'd misdescribed it. He tried unsuccessfully to knock the price down a bit, bought it anyway. He had no other means of getting home, so not in a very strong negotiating position... He drove it back to to the ferry at Holyhead, on to Cork, then slapped a neg on us when he got home.
Quite disheartening I must say, I thought i'd been pretty honest with it, certainly not intending to fleece anyone. He obv was expecting it to be concours which it wasnt. Of course, I've negged him back in an infantile 'tit for tat' exchange.

Thats come up a treat what a result! as for the starlet buyer, what a mincer, what does he expect buying an un-restored 20 year old car. He's probably only going to rip the seats out, cage it and go thrash it through a forest.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts
