Default What are useable 3drs actually changing hands for

Just wondering what I class as a “usable” 3dr cosworths are changing hands for? When I say useable I mean up and running, moted, tidy rot free 3dr which needs little bits here and there, no history and on the hpi list?

My guess is 20k plus for something decent but would not be surprised if it was 30-40

There hasn’t been anything for sale recently at a sensible price for people to be able to afford and do bits as and when they have time/money.

i think smiley has it spot on rich.if you have one that needs a little tlc you would do it yourself and keep any few quid you might make in a sale.

So regarding 3drs that have been a total loss, does this not really matter anymore then if the conditions ok? Me personally wouldn’t have an issue as long as it was a nice car.
