Type 34 parts tend to be expensive because they're scarce and there's a
small but active market for them. If you're saying that to be worth
restoring a car has to be able to sell for more than the value of the
sum of its individual parts then I doubt any car restoration is really
worth it. Anyone who thinks they'll make a profit restoring a Type 34 is
fooling themselves, but I think that would be the wrong reason to
restore one anyway.
