Looks to be a nice car and value is a very subjective thing. At the end of the day it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, so long as it is not misrepresented in any way. The cost of carrying out a restoration to a similar standard does not really come into it - we all know it is very easy to spend far more on a hobby project than you could hope to recover. I would have thought in this instance the selling off of the original number plate (although the current owner was not responsible for it) will have knocked the value, and rightly so. The seller appears to be perfectly upfront and honest in his marketing of the car and it will be interesting to see the eventual outcome, if indeed it becomes known. Perhaps entering it into a good quality auction, such as Richard Edmonds, might establish the true current market value?
