I've seen mint ones go for over £3K.
I'll put mine back together one day..... Mine's on a C-plate, as is my brother's - though his has a "real" competition history - being the car that Ivan Dutton did Prodsaloons with in 86, and later campaigned to some success by Neil Crofts.
Mine belonged to a girl who worked at a dealers in Houghton Regis, I bought it at two years old, and started racing it in 1990. It's got 16 wins under it's belt from a year and a half of competition, together with a championship r/u in 1990, and winner in 1991. It evolved into a GTE, but I have everything to restore it back to aboriginal (except for the transfers - which are easy enough to get now)
That's all by the by... I still reckon a bog standard Sport would do well in this series. 95bhp on it's 40's. The only things that let it down are the wide ratio box, and the 175/70 x 13 rubber (if you have to have standard rubber).
