My fathers first car was a 1927 Rolls Royce Phantom 1 . I have seen a picture and it was a beautiful huge long open car not the closed limo style people often think of. He bought it during WW2 for $50.00 He sold it after the war for $400 and thought he made a killing.
I had a neighbour in the early 60's with a 1927,8? Chain drive Fraser Nash 2 seat sports car in his garage being used as a garden equipment shelf. Looking at info on the net it might have been a real TT I was their paper boy and couldn,t even think about buying a car. The car had been sitting for years but looked like it would run if washed and given a battery. They also had a late 20's Peugot sports car which I was told had been a competition car at Le Mans in it's youth. No idea what model The owner retired to an apartment and both were sold price unknown but probably cheap.
I had a real 1967 911 "S" in the driveway in 1973. It already had a rusted out front pan. It was sold for parts($2000) The engine ended up in a beater 1969 T .
In about 1980 I almost bought a real 1966 Shelby GT350 Hertz car but thought $4000 was way out of line for a steel bodied car when you could buy a mid 60s stingray for little more.
