Hi All,
Please give me your opinions on pro's and con's of owing an EH Special Sedan compared to HR Premier sedan. Both have about 80000 original miles,3 owners,both manuals,both in excellent mechnical,body and interior condition,both 100% stock standard ,both with period accessories.
I guess it all comes down to personal preference but are there other things to consider such as resale value,parts availability etc.
I have both and need to get sell one but can't decide which !

EH was always worth more, better looking car. HRs are getting a little more popular. Personally I prefer an EH anyday

EH Special is probably the more popular. HR Premier manual is maybe more collectable. If the EH was a Premier I'd vote for it, but the HR Prem in my opinion is the better collector. What colours are they (outside and trim)?

HR does sound nice. It'd be my choice, although I do like the look of EH's better.

Go the HR Premier great looking car. If in doubt have a look at the April 2008 Street Machine page 68. HRs are that bit bigger inside and out, bigger engine bay better front end and larger rear wheel tubs. Done right they look trick.
