Can't help on the value side of things, but I do rather like the Blue roll cage colour

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.

There are people like me that are interested in a LHD one. Still though, i am trying to find a solution to register it abroad.

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,

Advertise it on European kit car web sites, if there are such things? There are a few members on hear from over the Channel, they should be able to
help.

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?

it was built for the 750mc, so can race in there, need the open diff fitting that i have, also the f/e putting back in, as regards breaking it its
worth more in parts car allways are thats what happened to the last car i built

When do you think that you will break it for parts?
Is it at the near future?
How big is the cabin?
