Default How much is my car worth??

Before I start ** THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE POST ** I haven’t anywhere near decided to sell it yet. I just want to know what its worth.

[I would have got my mate who is a gold member to advertise it if I had decided to sell ]

After my trip to ACE Cafe this week I feel the need for something Old Skool and Cossie powered

Especially after seeing the Mk2 Cossie on E-bay at the moment.

I'm really not sure what RST's are going for nowadays

Spec:

1.9 System 2 From Specialised Engines
Piper 285T2 Cam
Anti-pump lifters
Stage 2 Head
Mongoose 2.5inch bore exhaust with 4 inch rolled tail
Heat wrapped manifold

NMS Chipped ECU and bleed valve

Delocked doors and boot
Clear front and side Dickies
Smoked rear lights
17inch OZ F1 Cup painted Satin Black with good Toyo TS-1’s all round

Stripped interior

Safety Devices Cage including ‘X’ diagonal + Harness bars
Safety devices 3inch 4 point harnesses
Snap off Momo wheel
Sparco pedal sand gear nob
Autometer boost gauge
Sony MP3 headunit and front 3 way speakers

History:
1986 D plate
All original panels…never bumped or crashed
10 months MOT, 5 months Tax
59k Genuine [20k on 1.9 System 2]
All old MOT’s
Never welded [apart from the cage]
4 previous owners [I bough it off my best m8]
Original paint [until it was keyed]
Regular under body waxing all its life. Required NO welded.
Passed the MOT 1 month ago with no work or advisories at all
Many new parts fitted [bearings/suspension components/belts/alternator etc…]
Oil changed every 3k with Mobil 1 Motorsport
Fully Waxoiled

Pics:













Anyone offer any advice?

I paid 4.5k for it 1 year ago when it was more of less standard!!

Sorry for the long post!!!
