Geoff.C 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Some people would offer you about £50, but if you really want to sell it rather than use it, I would guess with patience it would make £600. There are a few of these about, still in very good nick (and lots that are rustbuckets) and folks seem willing to pay a reasonable amount for them. There may be sticking brake problems after standing for so long, but parts are easily obtained if required. A seal kit for a disc brake is about a tenner. Tyres may be found perished etc, best thing is to have it tested and see what getting it on the road is going to cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnyc 1,203 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Tyres are not perished at all must be lucky ..One caliper sticks but only slightly all steering is tight ..going to stick it on stands and go over everything then test it.Noticed the soft tops make decent money on the other site ..Not seen one in the same condition to compare as you say most are rot boxs or have been heavily welded.
