hi all
I wouldn't say the deon was a bad car. I have seen several very well put together customer cars that I would be glad to own. But it has to be said I've also seen a few that weren't put together very well at all.
Your right about the prices of these cars.I have some late eighty which kit mags with deon cars priced at 35k!! Mind you at that time real dinos were upwards of 200k in the boom years. A good one is worth around 12/14k as you rightly say.
Hindsight is a very good thing.No way would I have got involved with deon had I known what was to come.I got into kit cars when I got fed up chasing tin worm.After restoring a morris minor,2 fiat 128 coupes and an early mini cooper s I started looking at kit cars.As a kid I'd always like Tony Curtis's car in the persuaders.Didn't know what is was but loved it.Well at a kit car show at stoneliegh out in the club stands there was one.and the rest they say is history.
That brings us up to today some 16 years later, on axle stands unfinished in my garage, as I guess are so many deons.
