So offer him silly money and see what he says! FWIW Practical Classics gives £900 for condition 3 up to 4k for condition 1. That's if it's a MkIII, MkIVs came out in 1970 and prices are lower.

Got to be worth at least a grand with all those parts.

I was going to suggest that the parts were worth a grand and the car bugger all, so I suppose he's done alright for 200 quid!

'Tis what I would've done. I look at it this way - The PO probably gets more than they expected, I pay less than it's worth. Everyone's happy then :)

Though I might have started with a very silly hundred quid just to push my luck - It's worked sometimes in the past :)
