EIGHT THOUSAND QUID?

Hi chris,

They actually used to sell for that a few years ago.

But the pathfinder like most things worth money, there have been NEW repros made with plastic bodys.

This crashed the prices.

I'd guess fully restored they are more like £4k or even under today.

There is an unrestored pathfinder in bonhams, at beaulieu est £2.5k to £3k. But if I have the right one. The seller bought it at there high before the repros. And are trying to get there money back. Just my thoughts, I think it's worth closer £1.5k.

But you never know, we have seen some big bonhams beaulieu prices, reported on the forum before.

There is also a 1923 austin 7 in bonhams.

What a shame! Someone gave me a rusty, cracked Pathfinder, with most bits missing in the early eighties, when the kids were small. I eventually scrapped it as it was taking up room in the garden shed a few years later!
