Depends on what it is, how "original" or period the rest of it is and, of course, the price range it sells into.

the rest of the drive train woudnt be compleatly original. ill have changed the rear axle to an anglia rear, wheels to 15x4 wires, a 4 link rear suspension, hydraulic brakes, and have done some interior work as the seat werent bolted down.

the one i have sells for £5-6000 on uk market but upto 16-20,000 euros on the european markets
