Mainly overpriced .....I bought a rough fwb124 that had been serviced by their smith before buying lucky I bought it as a project as the spring had been just cut and not even finished. So if you do go looking be wary that's all I'm going to say

Very true

Are they actually worth the hyped up price.

I've never seen one let alone held or shot one

Would like to know opinions of those who actually have

[AC all day]

Things are only worth what someone else is willing to pay....never the actual investment put in...that said if something can't be replaced/repeated it has a rarity value.I have paid over the odds to be the owner of rare stuff, but only to the value I place on it...
Are Whiscombes worth the money asked...well engineered, beautiful finish and extremely capable of doing what it says on the tin....+RARE...
If you have the money and the desire then YES, if it's just to do a job then NO....
In simple terms do you buy a Ford or a Buggatti, both will get you from A to B...you could pimp your Ford but it's always a Ford!

I had one (JW50) about 15 years ago and sold it for £500. I think todays prices are hyped up but they are superb peices of kit.
