Looking for a bit of help I have a 1986 factory v8 90 that I have had for 12 years,it's in pretty good order and has some decent accessories on it. I have got the full soft top on it but also have the hard top rear door and csw Window sides,warn winch,lpg conversion and plenty more, 83k miles on the clock since I have owned it it has led a very easy life as it is a 3rd vehicle and the last few years has only covered about 200 miles a year. I was thinking about selling it as I don't seem to get the use of it but as I live on the Isle of Man there are no others to compare prices, I would appreciate some guidelines of what to ask. The chassis is good,bulkhead has had the repair sections done last year.

If it's original - chassis, engine etc it might be worth quite a bit to the US market, maybe up to 10k. Have a google/search on here.

Being in Gods Country ( Familys from Glen Wyllin) it may put a few people off so I would offer deliver to Liverpool etc.
Worth well its very nice but being a V8 puts some off but some like them, keep an eye on Ebay and see if any similar ones sell

Thanks for your replies,the USA market sounds interesting and worth a look in to as it is original chassis and engine. Winchman I did think about bringing it over but as I am sure you will know coming from that beautiful part of the island we have no mot over here and also it would have to be reregistered on to uk plates,which I thought may put people off so I was hoping to sell here if possible but if I did not get a decent offer I would hang on to it. I am fortunate that I don't have to sell but it would be nice to free up some space. We also benefit from classic vehicle road tax on pre 1987 vehicles which is £15.00 a year so I thought that might tempt a local buyer. I just didn't really know what to put it up at.
