I would say whatever they can get for it, about £3500 at most, as with everything though it's what someone is willing to pay ?

Depends on whether it really does need a "full rebuild" - a full rebuild is £2k absolute minimum - but you said it was taken off the road due to head gasket failure? I'm hearing two different things here.

If it needs a full engine rebuild then Tabetha's price of £3k - 3.5 sounds right.

But I'd like to have a good look at that shell rust-wise after all that time sitting in a barn.

Totally depends on the condition of the car and mileage and history.

If in good nick, low miles etc etc it would be worth £8-9k for example, then subtract the rebuild (or is it just headgasket and tidy up?) and suspension £300.

It could be worth a lot more than £3.5k, just depends, nobody can realy say from the info available so far.
