There were an average of 2 special editions every year since launch in 1989 both UK & JDM so 4 special editions a year. We'll need a lot more information than that!

will depend on what special edition it is, what age it is, the mileage, is it an import or UK car, 1.6 or 1.8, general condition of bodywork and mechanicals etc etc etc - if it was in a scrapyard then I suspect it's worth around £500 wink

hehe Fix the seat. Make the windows work. Stick a new MOT and 6 months tax on it. It'll be worth a minimum of £1000. Could be more. But could cost you £500 in welding to get it there....who knows.

I use photobucket, but you can use flickr or any other photo hosting website.
