Easy worth £8k...

Dry store it and some light summer use only and then see what it sells for in 5 years!!

Show me a scooby that will do the same lol.

loved mine. was only running about 170bhp and the torque steer was awful. but wound open at 21psi all day long was interesting. one of the cars that i've owned for the longest time. second only to my first scoob.

personally, i'd rather find a mint series 1 and dry store that for a few years.
