What would you do?

I think you've answered your own question in a way. As I've said before you'll never get your money back if you intend selling for a profit or even to break even. If you are selling the MK2 I'd do nothing to it and let it go for whatever it fetches, I believe you had a reasonable offer or two, by that I mean you wouldn't get what the car stands you in but not a bad price.
Here's another thing to look at, as you have started to burn bridges with racing why not go the whole hog and sell the dtype and keep the Mk2, you could use the proceeds to turn it into a really nice car and apart from your time I doubt it wouldn't cost a serious amount to do. Think about it, what's going to be the better car to drive around in for fun.

Simples ............. i told you not to let the licence go.

Graham no doubt after you'd finished converting it the car would be too nice to put near a race track. The licence will only ever be a form and a medical away.
