What a cute little thing that is!

Its been modified, so its all a question of taste whether a potential buyer likes / agrees to what you have done to it. I agree, you will never see all your money back on it

In today's market it would make circa £2,000, personally I would just drive it and enjoy it!

Nice car!

Thank you very much for your kind words and honesty I appreciate it

Very nice!! I reckon if you were to loose the corbeau seat and fit something like a pair of retro/classic buckets instead, then with a full MOT you should be able to clear in excess of £2.5k without too much problem, even in the current climate. The modded head, rear beam & coil overs will make it exceed £2k if nothing else!!

Ok thanks for your reply once again means alot. I'm going to be fitting a pair of speedwell classics soon I was hoping hoping that I would get as close to 3 but like you both said this climate doesn't help things.
