I'm really sorry to hear that PTJS.
This price guide might be useful:
I'd say (from what I've seen things apparently sell for - not ridiculous asking prices):
a. Rough cars (anything with barn find in the title, cars needing welding to the sills or rear arches, MoT failures): make less than £1000.
b. Middling cars: 1982 and later cars with 100-200,000 miles, a bit of history (maybe the past decade, the stuff before that is just for interest), a long MoT and no obvious welding or repairs needed: make £1,500 to £3,000.
c. Very good cars: 1982 and later cars with less than 100,000 miles, full history, long MoT and in really good condition make £3,000 to £4,500.
d. Historic cars (1981 and older) will generally make 50-100% more than the above categories.
The above is just my observation of the market, it will not stop people hawking around rough cars for £3,000, mediocre cars for £6,000 or very good cars for silly money. I don't think they often achieve their asking prices and just spend months or years on the market until the owners give up.
Good fortune with the sale,
Alan
