Have the same issues with my Dad mentioned over Christmas he wanted to sell his cars and could I help out. One hasn't been used more than 5000 miles in 35 years, the other 15,000 miles in 25 years.
Made some calls got recommended a garage for a commissioned sale on one, a firm minimum offer from a collector on the other.
Spoke to Dad Sunday, gave him the news and a fairly guaranteed six figure sum worth more than my house.
His response I'm not sure, I want to get the old one back on the road! Famous last words for the past decade!

If I was looking long term I'd be buying a few sub 1k Cars for a punt. 206Gti, Fiat Seicento Sporting. Ford Streetka / Sportka. Alfa 147, Stilo Abarth. Plenty of reasonable low milers at that price.
I have no storage, which kills the idea.

Have a look here. A 79 targa which would of had the benefit of being fully galvanised. You might have some luck if the targa you are after is a dry state car.

Don't think I've seen these here. When AMC tried to update the Pacer they thought " hmm, wagon..." ... Damn, I guess I need to sell one of my kidneys! This one already lives over here in germany! More here. You may need to consider selling both Kidneys!! More info here

I don't have a dealer sticker but dealer plates. I also have the purchase invoice, the purchase invoice for the E reg Breadvan that was part exchanged detailing the C reg Breadvan part exchanged to buy that. Sadly neither appear to exist. I also have the brochure taken away when the car was purchased new! And finally my spare key still has the original dealer stock tag attached.

Work on the Polo moves on at a very slow pace. It's not being used much now the roads are salted. I'm currently sanding back the corrosion on each compomotive by hand, then getting ready to re polish.
My Megane disgraced itself today breaking a rear shock hitting a pot hole! Being the pessimistic old git I am I thought ok the mot is due next week let's see how it fairs on that first.
It failed on the broken rear shock, that was it. Megane no longer in disgrace!

Nothing like your original drawing and I can't photo shop or draw, but hey ho. Just off on a tangent and taking ideas from Dream Factory Blow. I love to see one of these merged with an Isuzu. Ford Econoline Or maybe an oversized porter.

Not my earliest memory but one of the earliest ones I have a picture of, I'm in the passenger seat of the white one. Nearly 30 years on and still owned by my father.
