Looks like it should be sponsored by Cadbury's.

Can't help to again mention the positive upward trend on prices. Grant it, some of the respective asking rates were well to do so. Certified's stunning effort for one, and the recent white TCS sold on BAT deserved to be near the sharp end of the spear.

As for the Roman purple one....originality is key. Is it worth north of $50k? perhaps...

I do know I will be calling Hagerty, and bumping up my vehicle value.

Yup, me too. Been thinking about this lately. My car was last appraised in 2010. Things have changed.
