He then talked of long periods of no use, no mot until an enthusiastic bought it in 2017 as a non runner and recommissioned it, he bought it in 2018, and it had mot, but when it ran out he still uses it without it being mot’d, so it’s still in use but without mot! It is apparently fairly mint, with a little rust, but not on any of the brown paintwork, which looking at the latest pics it’s on the black wheel well or well on opposite side. It has a couple of bird poo marks on roof. I would say it’s probably worth 3k or close to what he was asking last year, but not the 5k now!

That is really interesting Dan, and rather corroborates my previous guesswork.
The bit about driving it around London with no MoT is astounding - there must be hundreds on ANPS cameras on poles and in vans between Twickenham and Luton.
I suppose the chap is just chancing his arm in advertising the motor car at £5,000. It is probably quite nice, but only very good cars will make that much. I'm guessing it didn't sell at £3,500 last year, so its value isn't that high, perhaps between £2,500 and £3,000?
