Re: Concours - old hat??
Best place to start is prepare the car to what you think is your best, then enter, speak to other competitors, look at others cars, listen to the judges - even ask them questions after the event and then consider how far you want to go whilst still enjoying the whole experience. I do believe, but no...

Following on from the thread re Sport Wanted and the various comments about values and note some mention that 'mint' ones are in excess of £10k.

Mint Sport's are out there but very few & far between. Most low milers, few owners, full SH ones are now owned by bmw enthusiasts / collectors as invertments so will be unlikely to be seen very often other than perhaps a few shows. There will always be an odd one someone ownes or inherits that may c...
