It was very clean with a couple of bits of minor rust scabs on the body work but nothing major. It was a non runner as it had not been used for years but just needed some work to bring it up to scratch. I sold it fairly recently for just short of 8 grand. It had 71k on the clock original mileage and had a few special bits on it such as half Leather Recaros, 15 inch brooklands alloys, five speed box, lsd and a booming system that was top of the range when it was installed in the late 80’s. Like any old skool ford they are desirable these days and will only increase in value as time goes by. Looking over the spec and details of your one I would say it’s a 10 grand car all day long, restored and mint injections and 280 brooklands are making good money at auction these days as said fetching 20+grand. Don’t rush to part with it, the right person will buy it
