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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 lol that's exactly what I mean! Just gonna keep spending the money on service parts and longer cycle consumables and see how I feel as the years go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 (edited) 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 Edited January 21 by Paul (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raddys Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raddys Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 That being said a uk tt6 definitely holds more value then others 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 (edited) I paid £11250 all those years back, bargain so anything is a plus. more bothered about insurance value. Couldn't replace her with anything similar these days despite a good budget Edited January 21 by Paul (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 (edited) Don't need to sell, best buy ever, love her. 24 yrs of ownership.... she still ticks so many boxes. Insurance wise, thinking 50k to 60k ? Edited January 21 by Paul (see edit history) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best you can do is take the best quality pics and send it to a good insurer and see what they come back with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
