Price is always difficult, ask 100 people they will all give different values on the same car.
Personally, I value a newly rebuilt car higher. As long as it's done properly, then everything has a new lease of life. We're as a 3/4 warn out car is exactly that.
Before the car was stripped, 3/4 warn out. I'd value it at £9,000. The owner probably valued it at £12,000 to £15,000
If restored correctly, I meen the hole car. Not just the body. I would value it at £18,000 to £20,000
But do remember, we live in the tight a R s e would of the austin 7. Most buyers will look at it as the same car worth £12,000 to £15,000 and want to part with £10k
I was watching American pickers yesterday, and I did like it when they pointed out its always easier to buy than it is to sell?
As the 65 stands, it needs to be £6k. Tops. The silly thing is it's probably worth £10k in bits.

Thank you Jon for the photos and Tony for your take on it. Current conversion rate puts the selling price at £10k and that's without transport cost to the UK. It just isn't viable, for me at any rate, for that price. It's sad that it's been pulled apart and left in the state it is and it will be even sadder if it's broken for parts.
regards
John
