1977 Honda Accord- sold the day after I took delivery after a six month wait, at a 25% profit. That was in Bahrain.
1966 Rover 2000TC- sold for a 10% profit two weeks after I bought it. I was transferred and did not want to ship it out of the US.
1968 Morgan +8- this was another Middle Eastern sale. I made 250% on that one
