It was on ebay in April 2022. Don't recall whether it sold. Southport Motor had it for sale in Sept 2022 for £35990.

It's certainly not expensive at circa 35k.
As long as the chassis hasn't seen salt and you put 10k'to 15k on one side for an engine rebuild?It's done nearly 50k ,on the original engine?
With a very low mileage and a later build year it would be £50k to £65k.
Add in the engine rebuild cost and you could be up at £50k easily.

The engines tend to let go prior to 20k miles. As long as the servicing has been strict, rebuild shouldn't be an issue - unless you want to beef up with a Powers rebuild for instance.

I'm not saying the engine will let go,I'm saying at 50k miles, the engine is likely very worn.These engines as we all know are ,race engineering for the street;but without billet cranks and rods.
