it does depend what condition they are in and what history comes with them.. like anything a minter can fetch strong money and a grotter will only be worth pennies

if you are handy with a welder and a spray gun then £500 is probably about right... the good thing about a mk1 is that it shouldn't go down in value if it is looked after
