Anyone got any suggestions as to what I should be paying for a 70k mile example in average/good condition? Trying (not VERY hard) to avoid more toys, but I have always had an itch for one of these models and think I've found one on the south coast.

Now then, finally been to take a proper look at it: 59k miles, FSH. Interior looks brand new, it's that good, however, NS front wing, where it joins the front panel is a bit scabby, as is the driver's door top (neither holed, just 'bubbly')

It'll need a OF headlamp bezel (chrome is pitted),new grille (imprint of 2 spot lamps!), and a grille badge to make complete, but otherwise it is a very tempting proposition.

Underneath looks excellent, and pulling the odd bit of carpet up revealed a spotless pan.

Really need some feedback, as I have no idea what these are worth - having looked a the small ads, there are crazy prices up to £4.5k...am I missing something?

Plaque on fascia says 1 of 1800 cars; I thought far fewer than that were built?

Cheers in advance for any pointers!

ETA: 1800 worldwide, 300 UK cars - note to self; do homework!
