Coming on a treat!

looking to sell mine, how are these valued these days, put them on ebay and sell to the highest bidder?

Although not keen on dealing with messers.

Yes its plodding along , values are all over the place , but be warned you will get plagued to death on ebay with messers , perhaps try a pistonheads classified , it all depends on condition really, what is it you have may know somebody

A 1978 (S reg) roll top model. In white with 4 previuos owners. I've had it 10 years. Just under 90k on clock.

No vynl or sunroof. Has speaker holes in front & rear cards.

Not lowered, Princess calipers with vented discs, 4 speed. Brand new full stainless exh system from 105 Speed.

Matching Vin and engine numbers. has had a repaint on the outside, Inside boot has pdi stickers and a hardly used original spare tyre/wheel.

Seats could do with recovering, as it is pretty much original. has been Waxoiled at some point, as the holes and grommets are in the door-shuts.

freshly re-con engine with Cosworth steel crank and rods, forged Wossner pistons, steel flywheel to suit crank bolt hole pattern, stage 1 head with bigger inlets, hi-torque cam, new followers, springs etc, elec ign. new water pump, hi press oil pump, ARP rod bolts.

I've had it running but it needs ign timing setting and a little tdying up here and there.

No t&t, as it's been stored at a friends garage, as have no time to use/look after it, hence reason for sale.

Here is a couple of older pics but it still looks the same.

I have no idea what the value is.

I understand it's no a show spec car, nor is it a basket case.

What do you see the value of it is? It's difficult to put a price on them.

Good luck with it. I've always wanted a mk 1 but I'm a mechanical idiot and can't afford a one already done.

Fair enough price for a family member taking it on.

You'd have got a lot more on the open market.

My cousin sold his Mk2 RS2 for more than half that value and it was partly dismantled and needed a LOT of work doing to the body and mechanicals....and it had glass sunroof and other 'issues'.
