I always look at something to see what It would break for.
Just by the pics as I can't see what condition the trim is in and the usual rust suspect area's, I would say £3k
If it has all its history and low owner and mileage £3k+
A couple of years ago, I went all the way up to Scotland to buy one that was 2 owners from new and 45k, the old man parked it up in one of his barns for 10 years for his son to have when he was old enough to drive, but the barn didn't have a concrete floor and she rotted right out. She looked mint in the photos but when I got up there you could put your hand through the floor and when I tried jacking it up she broke her back and kinked the roof. I paid £1600 for it about 3 years ago.





Trip to the scrappy!



The trim in it was mint, I ended up selling the ID and engine to a guy that had a brand new shell that I had tried buying from him after Surface Processing Ltd fucked one of my 280's up. He wouldn't sell it so I sold him the ID. I found another brand new shell that I ended up buying, its amazing when you start looking at how many things people do have stored and tucked away. I think I found 5 shells all in all but some wanted stupid money for them.

I was going to xpack the new shell but I'm keeping it just in case anything happens to any of my others, again it's another investment.
