Hi Ben,

I'm no 140 expert, but if the £400 / 500 you mention is all that needs to be spent, and the rest of the car is in very good order, with no rust etc, and good paint and interior, and a tidy engine bay, then that sounds like very good value to me! The bodyshell is basically the same as the 240 isn't it? I guess that you are familiar with what to look out for.

Values depend on so much - e.g. what's the history file like? If it's a desirable spec (e.g. overdrive), and all the service history etc, and is in very good condition, then at a guess, it could be worth maybe £1500 / 2000 when recommissioned (no doubt a 140 expert will correct me on this!!).
