Have to agree. Some of the Q's have done huge mileages as well. My Rickman
Space Ranger
is some 25 years old (most Ford mech parts 35yrs old), and apart from the
faded gelcoat is still good.

I couldn’t agree more Eddie
ive often looked at my own and other members cars and am amazed at how
good they look for the age, this is what I believe is one of the major
selling point for our cars - new or old.
i think the next promotional event you do at the new factory should /
could include signs or plaques for each car stating how old it is
since build, to demonstrate just how well they last, mine is 16 years
old now and doesn’t look much over 6 years old and non Quantum people
often don’t believe me
Just a thought

Hi Mathew
Wow I know that car.
It was a freind of mine who bought that car and he asked me to collect
it with him. I do know that he used a de humidifier inside it to dry
it out and vaguely remember him saying that there was not much work to
do in order to return it to the road. I therefor know that the current
owner is not the one who paid £100 for it. Unfortunately I do not
actually know what he paid for it.
Got to say though, it did not look quite this good. But looking at the
pictures of it now, does it not show that these cars are so resilient
to being uncared for, that even a poor condition car has the potential
to be a good car in the right hands. That's the beauty of a Fiberglass
car and that's why I think they are worth more than the metal ones.
