    Depends on which engine's in it, the mileage and of course the condition. Could be worth as much as £12k ish or as little as £4/5k

    Invested in some Japanese silk screen prints in the late 80’s all number 1’s of 25. Worth 10 times what I paid for them now but I wouldn’t sell because they are incredibly beautiful.

    Low mileage, it's in good nick as it's spent much of its life sat in a garage. No idea about the engine.

    Can't say I've got anything worthy of being an antique.

    Mate if mines son has a few corrados, they look like junk to most people. He messes around fixing them etc as a hobby

    Some of the offers he's had for them could buy him a house and then some

    Had a mate who worked in hmv, a few years ago. My Mrs is/ was a kiss fan. They released a vinyl called destroyer. I told my mate to put it aside on release which she did. Cost me £7:99

    Turned out it was miss pressed, so side was a different album. Side B was correct. They all got recalled apart from what my mate put away for me.

    Didn't realise this meant its price went up. Sold it on eBay to a guy in Germany for £180.

    Have to say I gave bought stuff that turned out to be worth more than I paid for it

    I bought a second hand Nokia 920 or summat for the Mrs as she broke her screen on her phone, again <doh>

    Anyway this Nokia had a hardware flaw where it warmed up and went onto bing. Thought I hit diddled but it was as an easy fix and the phone was a limited edition batman thing, dark knight iirc. Selling on eBay for £500-£600

    I paid £60 and sold it for £200.

    Bought a Vespa PX150 in 2007 as they were about to cease production due to emissions. It’s done less than 500 miles.
    Also have an original Chopper push bike in purple. It was originally my wife’s and somehow managed to get stored in my in- laws loft for many years. Both the tyres are flat and I’m not sure if I tried to pump them up, they wouldn’t explode. Other than that everything still works.

    I just farted and it smells like it's been up there for about 135 years.

    Great car. Especially if it's the v6 one. My mate kept his.

    a Box of hardback books over 100years old, including leather bound copies of 'Rachmaninov' parts 1 and 2 by Fyodor Dostoevsky that I can not find any sort of record of anywhere.

    I imagine it's been wrapped around a lamp-post, or nicked. My dad used to race them during the 80's, pretty much all of them were purchased through rather dubious sources.

    My old man had his first heart attack when he was in his early 40s ... was 1973 ... got taken into Leicester Royal Infirmary and put on the cardiac ward ... guy in the next bed was a bloke called John Kenny - he was an artist and had done the pictures for many of the the then quite popular Penguin historocal books. My old man and him got on like a house on fire as they both had a love of history. Anyway ... got 2 copies of Penguin's Napoleon Bonaparte books .. one to me and one to the old man signed by JK ... not sure whether they'd be worth owt and probably wouldn't sell them anyway ... sentimental reasons <ok>
