What's my donor worth?

Hi folks
I bought a Sierra a few months ago with a view to being able to sell it on to a Locoster once I was finished with it. It's a 1992 1.6 (CVH) base model. I bought it for £450 and apart from a few dents from a struggling learner, it was near immaculate. In the intervening period, some ar$e hole reversed into the back of it with a tow hitch and smashed the bumper, rear light and put a nice ball-shaped indentation underneath the light. I've also found that the thermostat isn't sealed properly. There is an odd rattle which I haven't investigated. There's a couple of months tax and MOT for a few months. Gearbox is sweet as are brakes, diff etc - only 81k miles. Basically, it's a spot on donor apart from the CVH which was never a great thing. I can however supply a nicely painted 1.6 Pinto block FOC with the car.
14" Alloys and 4 good tyres too.
What's reasonable to ask?
Thanks!

With an MOT about £100 - 250

Without an MOT £50

a sierra with MOT on ebay seems to be making at least £300 at the moment and without one its worth at least £80 scrap so you should be able to get £100 for it, if not more.
