Here is how I am looking at it, similar decent condition car without cat D is £8-9k, Cat D brings it down to £6k. Changing front end back to FL will take considerable amount of work and money and while the existing PF parts can be sold to recover some of the money they will be cheaper than FL parts and will take time to shift. As the car has wrong front end it makes you wonder what else has been done wrong repairing it and about quality of the repairs, since you cannot check much without opening the bonnet it's a risk as well so for me to be interested it would need to be in £4.5k range. You could probably get that that kind of money from breakers and possibly £5-6k on the e-bay as cat D from somebody who does not realize it's got wrong front end on the car if you choose not to disclose it.

I bought my D2 S8 8 years ago for £2.5k on e-bay when the decent similar ones were costing about £5k. It had been insurance write off in the past and it needed things doing and I only bought it while I was drunk, I did not even remember bidding on it, just discovered to my surprise the next day that I have won it, probably would not have bought it if I was sober, not that I regret buying it. In the end it was half the price of the decent one but previous insurance write off and with some issues, which brings me back to the £8-9k price for decent similar D3's and taking and drawing parallels to my D2 purchase if I take half of that brings me back to the same ~£4.5k price point for it.

To be honest I don't expect LordHefner to let it go that cheap but if it was offered around £4.5k I would be interested.
