A friend of mine is selling his 916, it's a 1997 p reg in red and white with 20k miles and has a 955 engine fitted. It has lots of carbon inc termis exhaust, full service history with 4 cam belt changes done on time rather than mileage, It is in mint condition and I am wondering what it might be worth, any ideas ?

Been trying to load photos but keeps saying file is to big and I don't know how to resize them !!
How do I check if engine number is AMA . Is there a website I can check on .
At first he was asking for 9k which is way above where you guys were pitching, so I left it as I thought it was to much but he has since called me suggesting a more realistic price which is still above your suggestions.
The bike is mint and has had belt changes etc when it's required them.
In the last 5 years the MOTs confirm the bike has covered only 163 miles !!
I'm assuming this is not a good thing ?

Belts were changed in December of this year along with the BIG service.

I'm viewing the bike again Monday evening so will gain all the info you guys have mentioned above.
Thanks for your input, I think I was a little blinkered when I 1st viewed it because it is a stunning bike in concours condition.
He has owned it for the last 9 years and has taken very good care of it.
It does have ohlins, lots of carbon and magnesium wheels.
