IAll longer term owners must be in a appreciation situation, I spose that can make some worry or go into preserve mode, but surely not so much as if you are a recent £2-30K+ purchase price owner?  

I know if I put in the money to make it mint then I will be more nervous of the usage and inevitable degradation from there on, it might even make me more likely to sell I think?

I don't think I'm quite in appreciated territory, more cost free motoring over 23 years. This rising price is a curse for longer term owners, it encourages you to drop £thousands on the thing tarting it up which you would never do if it was scrap yard fodder. Then, after you spend £thousands you do become a lot more precious over taking it out; that underside might get some dust or worst splashed dirt on it. Every puddle in every pothole becomes like navigating a minefield where you know one is going to get you.

Its pure mental torture.

So, 3 yrs on, has the bubble burst ? Looking to finally go classic insurance, still own. What sort of money is she worth ? Been kept in a dehumidified garage for the last 5yrs, same condition as the photos and sad to say zero miles added

Unfortunately 2021 were supra peak prices, now they're struggling to sell, I know someone with tt6, full respray, lots of work and completely stock took over a year to sell and sold eventually for 35k. The market for all cars like these is now is on its arse. I'd hold on to it if I were you

Don't need to sell, best buy ever, love her. 24 yrs of ownership.... she still ticks so many boxes

 

Well good thing is because its a uk tt6 insurance companies will look at that as a plus, I've had my jdm tt auto mostly fully restored and sent the pics to my insurance company and they gave me an agreed value of £55,000 so I'd expect yours to be £60,000 at least, I know some lads have theirs valued by insurance at over £100,000!

Best you can do is take the best quality pics and send it to a good insurer and see what they come back with.
