Those Autoplas (etc) louvres are worth quite a bit nowadays, but probably more like £300-400 than £800.

The 340 B14 lumps can be pretty hardy, if looked after. I had one with ~190k on it, which was killed by a broken e-fan wire (long story) and an unobservant driver (not me!). A now sadly departed VOC member had an exceptionally tidy example (I'd describe it as showroom condition) which had well over 200k on it, too.

That car is massively overpriced though - mostly because it's been punted at both ends (and quite hard at the back). A decent-condition equivalent would be that kinda money, though. Quite an unusual spec, with electric windows and extra gauges. Decent 300s have gone up nearly as much as 200s!

cheers

James

... either way it is going through the strainer again - and will give us another view of the bottom of the market.

Some of the bits he has listed will have a market but most of it is (being very kind) indeed tat of the first order.

Looks like he does house clearances and i'd guess has a shop selling the better stuff, the rubbish gets punted out on fleabay.
