Default Going rate for a TRF511

What's the going rate for a TRF511 these days with all the various bits?

Potential change of priorities

Err this isn't about cars, this is about personal aspects.

People - don't send my PMs re buying 511, it's not for sale at this time. So you won't get a response.

I just paid £260 (inc. postage) for a fully hopped up 511 including brass, fred's diff-covers, lots of blue bling, and a load of spares...

As far as I'm concerned, I think I got a bargain.

If I was you, I'd put it on ebay starting at about £250, then tell everyone here about the ebay listing, see what you get. They are rare cars, and in high demand, so I'd imagine you'd get quite a bit more than £250.

At the end of the day, it's worth what you can get someone to pay for it.

I personally think that's cheap, but it seems to be the price several have sold for recently.

I think you should get 325 for a FULLY hopped up one no problem. As long as it's mint maybe more with clear shell, wheels etc

Aren't you glad I pointed out the bulkheads before you got to run it
