I suppose the old saying is true to a certain extent, "a cars only worth what a buyer is prepared to pay" and at this time, there are not a lot of buyers wanting sub 20mpg, group 20 insurance etc.
I have three people wanting 20mpg, group 20 ins english built V8 engined MG saloons, so the market is there although small for these beasts that are getting rarer and i think now the prices have seen rock bottom and will go back up with time.

if a CAT D MK1 with no history makes over £5,000 then a decent one will certainly make more than £6k privately, and quite rightly so.

AM's car is worth upto £7k privately all day long
