Absolutely key to the value is that it's properly registered i.e. the logbook says Domino Pimlico (or some variation thereof) rather than Austin Mini (or Morris/Rover or whatever). I'm guessing from the Q-plate that this is the case but it is worth specifying to make sure people are aware.

Yes the logbook says domino pimlico

I always like the dominos. They seem to vary in price hugely... I saw a tax exempt mot'd one in reasonable nick go for 1800 on eBay, a really nice one sell at 2k and some poor ones go from 1200 to 1800.

Not much help am I?!

Kit-cars are very difficult to value. They don't sell often enough for a market level to be established so they fetch whatever someone is willing to pay on the day. The best you can do is set a level at which you would be happy to sell (maybe with a little wriggle room added on top) and set that as a reserve on ebay. If anyone is looking for one they will be watching there and it opens out the biggest market in the easiest way to get interested parties bumping the price between themselves. If it doesn't get to your reserve you can decide if it's worth more to you or re-assess if you had an un-realistic expectation. If it goes way above your reserve then you know that you have been saved from selling it "too cheap".

 

Certainly you want more of a description than you have provided and pictures of the interior and maybe of the bodywork defects to show how serious (or not) they are.
