I have repaired plenty of cars that would meet that criteria - most saloons have had way more spent on them than what they are worth from an insurer's viewpoint. that is the wierd/sad thing about saloons/estate compared to TR's etc.

Case in point - my late father restored a 2500S estate (bought for 2200) for +4000 quid in 1985 when it was only worth maybe 3500 finished. Thing is it lives on now in Oz better than the day it left the factory.

Would you trust a car repaired and sold by me?

Driven by you? Maybe
