I've owned her for 20 year's and she now needs some money spent on her head linning etc. Should I sell or spend

Re: 1993 827sli fastback with full leather
...because if you don't, it doesn't really matter.
Keep it and you'll resent spending the money on a car you don't like, and if you're trying to sell a car that 'needs money spending', you probably won't get enough to warrant the hassle.
If you like the car - I'd keep it. Spend enough to keep it going, in a condition you're happy with (be that 'just about getting by' or 'restore to showroom glory') and enjoy knowing that whatever you spend (£100s or £1000s) it's bound to be cheaper than what the neighbours spend to keep their 12 plate Focus financed.
Just my opinion, like.

Re: 1993 827sli fastback with full leather
The fact that you have had her for 20 years must give you a hint?.
But if it is time to move on, let's hope she can find a home here with another caring owner.
Headliner on a fastback is easier to do than a saloon, and the gear to do it is readily available from woolies trim for not a lot of money.
It depends on what else she needs and your willingness to finance the repairs that is the final decision.

Re: 1993 827sli fastback with full leather
Thanks for that she has now got 190000 miles on the clock the engine and gearbox have only ever been serviced it's been faultless. Everything works there's the normal rust in the wheel archs . I now need help with getting headlining and one or two other bits sorted , so if anyone knows someone who can help I will keep her going

Re: 1993 827sli fastback with full leather
A search should show one or two threads about headlinings. I replaced the one on my mk1 Sterling with one from a mk2 and in fact did the same on a mk1 hatchback.

Re: 1993 827sli fastback with full leather
Is that Carribean Blue? It looks like a really nice car given it's age and mileage. I also quite like that it's been given the face lifted treatment, although I know that not everyone would agree. If I could justify spending more on another 800 I would!

Re: 1993 827sli fastback with full leather
Yes it is carribean blue and I have all the original interior lights tailgate etc if wanted to make her original. The only paint work that has been done and needs doing again are the wheel arches.

Re: 1993 827sli fastback with full leather
That's a great lookng car, Matthew. Fastback, Caribbean blue, aircon, auxiliary transmission cooer and those cracking wheels - a brilliant package.
I know that you said "offers" but it would help if you could give us an idea of the price you're looking for.
