I find these cars are cheap to buy but it takes a couple of grand to get it up to scratch and put abit of spec on them, so I wouldn't sell mine for the same price of some scrap out there.

Could it be that we're all a bit biased?

Not when you can buy a Lude for less than the amount it weighs in for no its not bias... Most types of cars bottom price sticks at a hundred or two above its scrap value. The ones that don't all get scrapped pretty quickly. Of the two Ludes I bought this week I paid £100 over scrap for the first one which was well worth it as it only cost me another £100 to get a years mot on it. So even if I run it for a year and scrap it ( not what I am planning) It will have cost me nothing by the time I sell a few bits and weigh it in. The second one I bought for spares is still taxed and moted for two months but in reality it would cost more than it would be worth to put it through another mot. As a spares car it is ideal though and again its a no lose situation.

To be fair, Preludes are only cheap in the UK. In the rest of the world they are quite expensive. In the U.S you can only just buy an engine for the price we pay for a whole car. They pay around $7000-$10,000 for a Prelude.

They are cheap because they don't have a huge following. Many think they are ugly cars.

They are just a mainstream car with no heritage behind them. Cracking engine's, but other than that they don't have alot going for them.

no heritage

just because they didn't have there own race series doesn't mean no heritage
