It's worth whatever you're willing to pay! I've no interest in stock standard cars, so I wouldn't pay that, but for someone that is interested it just might be. As Mike points out, these cars are only going to become rarer, especially in this country so maybe you should take a punt! At then end of the day, it's only money, we all work hard so that we can blow it all on our various vices, and you shouldn't really car what other people may think! Anyhoo, this is a BT1 thread - nice work on the gauges!

this is a nice vl, well done on alot of things. but i myself am very pedantic as to how bt1's should look if there are no mx-grey bars and beige interior for a yellow interceptor, too me its just another sl.
