The Very Best Cars – Concours Winners & Rebuilt:

Cars, which have been fully restored or are Concours standard, start at around £7,000+ depending on all round condition of the vehicle. Interior, chrome, originality, and low mileage will add to the price, as does documented history of the car, original bill of sale etc.

An 1800ES in Concours condition is currently worth about £2,000 less than a coupe. Low mileage on an ES is common. Lots have less than 75,000 miles n the clock and it is unusual to find one, which has covered more than 100,000miles

A Jensen built P1800 in Concours condition, would be very unusual and therefore it is difficult to give a price for this, as it would depend on the individual car.
