- Absolutely agree on this - never do financial reporting on the cost. It will scare anyone and will start inhouse arguments.... Cheers, Hans '71 BGT which will be legal tested on the 31st..... Max Hei

- Good advice all on this one! In my case our '65 has cost us ridiculously little in the 31 years we have owned it, about $15,000 so far (Not counting insurance or gas), including the original purchase
