you knew the pile of scrap that was sold him, but you'd have to be fairly stupid to think you can compare it with how it was then, to how it is now.!!
You can't label it now, on what it used to be, otherwise folk who spend fortunes doing old cars up could never sell them , as they would still be selling old scrappers.......even though they have been dismantled bolt by bolt and re built in as new condition.
