<HTML>A few years ago, condensing Stanleys were selling in the $25K-35K range. They are somewhat higher now. Earlier cars are much more expensive. I think it wise to assume $10K should be kept in reserve for repairs before the car is fully roadable. That should cover replacing the boiler and burner, for example.</HTML>

<HTML>For cars in the UK, convert $ into £.
Non-condensing care are much more.
And I was told it would cost £30k sterling to restore my car.....very wrong indeed.....I will tell you by how much when its finished!!!!</HTML>
