This isn't the best place to ask, as most here would want someone else's Mini to be a bargain

 

If nobody wants to buy it, it is worth £0-00.

 

If two or more want to bid against each other, then it is worth the sale price less fees.

 

It is very unlikely to be worth the money that has been spent on it, so the only way to find out is to sell it.

The better question is what would be a reasonable amount to advertise the vehicle for..

It’s a very nice looking mini but as another member has stated you’re unlikely to get all your money back on your investment. Have a think about what you would be happy to pay if it wasn’t yours and add 10%. That’s your advertised value.
Try not to look at it with owner tinted glasses but with a reasonable adjustment when taking similar “sold values” from eBay completed listings etc into account

It’s impossible to truly value a car from owners pictures and description alone

Have a look around and find similar condition and spec private sold values and go from there

I hope this helps
