For a mint one Ł3500-5000, tidy Ł2000-3000, sheds Ł1750 and below at the end of the day you get what you pay for depends on milege, history, how much welding its had mods etc etc

You obviously got a bargain there m8, but if you look on ebay, pistonheads, autotrader, rallye news, s2rs.co.uk, you will soon see what they are going for

At the end of the day, its only worth what someone is willing to give for it

So depending on how much you think its worth and what would Joe Bloggs pay for it is what matters.

Looks a gorgeous car though

You're lucky as your looking at a wider market to sell to with a modded one. Trying to sell my standard s2 and I get plenty of compliments but no genuine interest. Yet...

3K upwards for decent example.Think alot of people are forgetting that the Sr2 is becoming a classic like the Sr1 now.I must admit i have seen some shocking prices for Sr2 and they aint worth half the price they asking for.But the really mint examples will go for the right price.
