I know, one of the nicest ive seen on ebay for a long time, wonder what'll it fetch.  Great car for a transplant project....  If i had cash i'd love to drop something better in it, wasted with a 1300!

Isn't that question a no no on here, I saw a thread in the MK2 section sayin no more "how much is it worth?" questions, its worth as much as someone would want to pay etc etc.  :smiley:  Then again i suppose the other question is how much is it worth to you?...

I think it was more a subtle suggestion that perhaps good mk1's are worth a quite few k these days ;)
