It started off at £15k, I think £11k was still too much IMO, parkers seems to be a bit mean as (adding the max suggested premium for the low miles & options) their valuation came out at about £6k. Personally I think about £8k would have been fair. While low miles is generally good I was a bit fearful it means mainly short trips which is not necessarily a good thing and with it being a private seller (i.e. not a dealer) then there's no guarantees/warranty.
It's gone off autotrader now though so the temptation has been removed!
For these types of cars at the incredibly small volumes of trade and the massive variance of condition and spec on the ones which do come up for sale, I really don't think you can place much value on Parkers or CAP.

I would definitely have entertained paying £11k or very close to that, given the spec, apparent condition and relatively late model year for a V8.
