I would just put it on ebay and see what it makes,I would think you would get a good price for a LHD uk registered car from a european buyer,I would say as for its value,its worth about £8000 to the right foreign buyer.I can't see a uk buyer wanting to pay a premium for a LHD drive car,even though its looks a very nice one,so its probably worth only £6000 to a uk buyer,otherwise they may aswell buy a RHD car.

thanks, its strange, i was worried about it being LHD, but i actully prefer it to RHD seems more normal, only issues is if your right behind someone you carnt see whats coming, but if you drive normaly you can see past them,

That seems a real shame as the car looks to be well specced an put together. Would it be suitable/eligable for any racing classes - the LHD may not be such an issue for racers?

When do you think that you will break it for parts?

Is it at the near future?

How big is the cabin?
