It's a knackered old shed worth whatever the good parts will fetch if
you broke it up and stuck it on ebay.

Bad points:
Plastics fucked
Doesn't run
By the look of the tyres it hasn't turned a wheel in about 15 years.
*and* they take 1980s sized tyres which are rapidly becoming hard to get
hold of.

Good points:
The silencer is nice and shiny.

Seriously, stay well away. A good runner is only worth £800-£1k.

Nice.
Looks smart and appears to be in excellent condition.
For that sort of money I'm almost tempted.
A major problem is I'd have nowhere to keep it.

Which is a hell of a lot of money for a non-runner without paperwork
that isn't that much in demand when it comes to parts, 'cos the only
cost effective thing to do with this is break it and flog the parts.

WOW thats a lot.

Must have been for the parts, but these things become more collectable 
   as they don't last long in the first place, so someone must have 
thought it was of value.

Then again it was an ebay auction and the only people who don't loose 
are ebay.

The word "Dinosaur" keeps springing to mind!!!!
