With its age and mileage I'd say around 2.5k - 2.8k possibly a tiny bit more. You'd make a lot more if you sold your 17 wheels separately and put the standard wheels back on. If left on the car you wont gain any value unfortunately.

As a guide I bought my 97 P reg with 69k miles FSH etc excellent condition for £3400 and that was over a year and a half ago. Not sure what book value says.

What happened to the engine requiring a full rebuild? Quite rare.

I do a good 50miles a day or more. Worth holding on to it if you can. Pity you have to get a diesel. Diesel's quite expensive in the garages, a fair bit more than unleaded fuel here in the UK. In most of Europe diesel is a lot cheaper than unleaded!

yeah but the mpg is alot better and im doing quite alot of motorway miles now so needs, must as they say.

was hoping for abit more than that for it tbh as ive spent about 700 on it in the last month and there is nothing wrong with it what so ever, it truly is a mint example and very well looked after
