Hi all, reached a point where I'm really fancying a different ride so looking to sell my mx5 powered herald. But whats it worth?

groved discs and mintex pads
compomotive 13" wheels
half cage
motolite steering wheel
full polybushed kit
solid stearing mount kit
1600cc long nose mx5 engine and 5 speed gearbox solid mounted
will not come supercharged. I wish to keep this for the next project

I thought about £3000 but thoughts on this please?

hey.

important things that need to be answered before giving my opinion.

is the engine running stock management?

is the engine and gearbox really solid mounted? that would deff put me off.

what condition is the metalwork in?

what state is the interior in?

rough guess from me from the limited info i've seen is £1000-1200.
as i think a lot of whats been done does not add anything to the value but instead gives the car limited appeal instead.

if it was a nice looking well presented car with a reliable modern engine fitted in (with proper mounts etc etc) it'd be worth a lot more.

just my thoughts. hope your not offended.

Yes its solid solid mounted. An option i chose agree not to everyones taste. Management is stock as is most of pipework ect to ensure parts are simple to replace. Metal is ok but no show winner, not offended btw its handy to get some honest feedback cheers.
