Its film memorabilia though...not just a humble Li anymore,in the same vein that Del Boy's Regal van(s) are going to be worth loads more than an ordinary one or an original Bond film Aston Martin is going to be priceless instead of 100k or whatever they are.
There is a question on originality i would think though ,obviously frame and engine nos dictate,but it was found in a front garden in Hants i think about ten,15 years ago so how much of it is what was there in the film....

Yea your right, was Kev from Allstyles that had it, and what i seem to remeber it still had most bits, but i'm sure i remember he told me he replaced some bits, he also had Stings GS.

I may Pop over to the very dark side to see the coments on there..... i may be gone some time..... please don't worry, I'll Be Back....... i hope,
