It's hard to value it just from those pictures. It looks great but more details needed!

Surely over 30 though.

I've seen similar cars there sell for 40. As you say more detail needed looks tidy.

Gather It's on at £70k

Brideyo, keep seeing your posts on early cars ... Pop over to Ddk if you want more info on pre-73 cars

70k? Phew.

The market is certainly moving fast on these early cars, and that looks lovely, but 70k for an E? We will get there, but not yet.

Not yet.

Not in the same condition. Have a look on mobile.de to see what top 's' cars are being touted at ( €100k + )

But, even as an owner of a 2.4s, it is difficult to get my head around these prices .... But saying that, not sure what I'd replace it with anyway as I enjoy the drive of the older cars over the newer stuff

If it's been restored by a recognised specialist, to ex-Factory original spec, and has a good history, then it will command a premium, and the 'E's do drive very nicely.

However, £70k is seriously ambitious. On the other hand, if it's the real thing it will always be desirable, compared to the dubious replica/recreation thingies.

Never seen a rhd one in signal yellow, and would hope it has the recaro sports seats (£4k a pair these days !)

As suggested, pop over to DDK.

DDK is a pretty informal group really, so most meets tend to be spur of the moment things. Depends where in teh UK you are.
If you want to check out cars, post up on DDK & you might find some owners will use it as an excuse to have a meet up

There is a big Europe trip this year & a largish gathering of cars up north in April

Not sure where in the country you are Bridey but there is a London / Surry meet once a month at the Fairmile pub in Cobham. very nice bunch of people and as the evenings get longer, there are usually some nice cars to get a feel for what you are getting yourself in to.
