Looking at Ebay mk1 price are increasing
Followed this one with v low mileage but a bump on tailgate

There are very few coming up for sale on either ebay or Autotrader now. I'm not sure if that's because they've reached junk status and so only merit local adverts, or because people are keeping hold of them.

Following the figures on HowManyLeft, by this time next year the number of 'plas on SORN will probably overtake the licensed ones. That's a sure sign of antiquity!

I've been on the lookout for another ,with better bodywork than mine for a while, in order to make 1 good one. As you say, very few advertised in the usual places.
