Does anyone else suffer from this problem?
Now its nice to have the cars admired and taken to the shows but this seems to be happening quite a bit to me where I live, just wondering if anyone here gets this kind of cold calling.

When all's said and done, having such an old and good-looking car does attract attention, it has to, some of it not as welcomed as the general rubber-necking we all enjoy getting. It's a burden us classic car owners have to bear!

I did leave a few notes in terrible French when I was looking for a LHD replacement…none called! I was desperate though and figured it was worth a shot! Would have loved someone to have offered to buy my Rivage when I needed to sell it.

To ask the once while I was in work not too bad but to call around the house 20 mins later, I still think is not on
I agree. Firstly it's nice to have someone admiring your car and asking if it's for sale. BUT, to then call round so soon after is down right rude, especially when they may see it as planting a seed in the Mrs' mind. What you don't want is for her to then pressure you about selling your pride and joy !

exactly. if some one had asked if your/my car was for sale and you/i said no, then 20 mins later knocked on your/my door offering £30k, would you still be upset?smokeybubbles said
As far as i am concerned my cars are always for sale, just need to offer me enough money to temp me. At the moment it would be somewhere around the 15k mark. I dont think someone pulling up and asking me if i want to sell my car is willing to pay that for some reason!!!
