'88' charade gtti

[n104ndy]

2 owners from new, Needs respray in White as I had it painted pearl blue/green (I blame maxpower magazine?) when I was younger and it was a curse word job :-(, also had full engine rebuild including brand new crank from Japan, 1100 miles later engine started knocking, not been driven since (2001-2002) I think, I've since bought a complete engine and a used crank while they were availible. So the question what's it worth as it is. Or what's it worth if I can get it painted, engine sorted and taxed n tested?

The superest of Super-Minis?
They're pretty rare now with only a handful left on UK roads so you won't see them for sale very often.
There's a mint low mileage LHD currently on with a dealer for just under £10K.
A key issue here is probably whether yours has significant corrosion as that was their Nemesis.
If it's solid, if it was restored to a good standard with an A1 paint job & an A1 engine rebuild I'd guess it would have to be worth £8K to £10K?
(Yours wouldn't but be low mileage but the RHD would balance this out).
As is, a project with a mad paint job and the engine issues ?£2K to £4K? depending on general condition & corrosion.

If you're re-painting, I reckon white & red would look good;

You've probably been in contact with the Clubs but just in case you haven't

A good source of spares & linked into Daihatsu UK for spares as well.
