The farm that my unit is on, they aren’t short of few quid either. Fingers in all manner of pies.
Unless I've misread your reply, you've proved my point. I know loads of 'not well off' farmers. In fact the majority where I used to live in the pennines, borders of Yorks and Lancs. Small hill farms scratching a living but due to land prices, on paper they are wealthy with farms valued in the low millions, property rich, cash poor....anyway, another thread exists for this rant
In the meantime, 500 family farms or farm businesses have moved out of farming or closed since Labour took power.
IIRC - A lot of it has to do with the timing of setting up and then selling Evo... He sold it right at the peak of printed, glossy media, just before the Internet took over and wiped out large chunks of the print industry.
Yeah, I thought that, but on one of his vids he was, as a young man, joining the Evo team as a punter with interesting cars- can remember what it was, but it was a top end car. So he didn’t start Evo, I don’t think, and already had more than one nice car. He also was described as a farmer at that time.
I really like that XJ V12 coupe he’s selling. Wonder how much that will go for.
Blimey! I just looked on car and classic and a standard one (low miles) is £36k. I thought the arse had fallen out of the classic car market! These were £10k not long ago!
I think he said in his round up video after the resto it stood him in at £75k including the initial purchase price, it's since had more spent on it at Tom Lenthall's garage via a new fuel injection system, I doubt he will break even and will probably realise half that or less, then again it is one of the more popular cars in his garage in terms of You Tube views and values of XJC are quite strong so maybe those factors will have a bearing on hammer price, it will be interesting to see what it goes for.
Estimate of £60-80k (plus 15% buyer’s premium).
