With the amount of work required and mot due in the near future, it’s probably £500.
Try eBay or a local auction if you want to text the market

Interesting question. A seemingly unmolested early ish car (1998?), in a good colour. From the info available, needs at least £500 spending on it; were there any MOT advisories last year and if so were they rectified? Has it got aircon, cruise control, heated seats, leather seats, original cat convertor, other extras?
A problem you might have is that the Cat C will always be with the car, however much is spent.
A top well maintained M44 with a 12 month MOT and no significant defects with your mileage might make £3/4K. Yours appears to be in the "breakers territory", so likely worth around the £500 mentioned above.

Mine is a 1999 M44. MOT'd a month ago. 80k miles. Got a hardtop. Will need 2 tyres soon. No accidents.

I'd value mine at around 2k. That's what I told the insurance. But if I was selling i think I'd struggle to get that. If I was buying now I wouldn't buy anything other than a 3.0

Interesting thread. There’s a 1.9 for sale near me that’s been dropped from £7k to £6k. Has low mileage but stood without interest all through the summer and still there, hence the £1k off. Cloth seats from memory.

A week ago Mathewson's auction sold a 02 1.9 8v with only 13k on the clock for 9k or something like that. I guess there is demand for 1.9's but they need to be mint.

I sold my Boston green 1998 1.9 for £1700 last year. That was a Cat S. It had the optional 17's, black leather and was a very nice tidy one with FSH, a new rear screen and a new MOT. But, I sold it to a mate who badgered me for it. I would have struggled otherwise.

A less than prime example - £500 ish. There are loads around at the moment as age is catching up with them and they aren't worth restoring.

Sold my 1.9 about 6 weeks ago it had no mot but was mechanically perfect and 76k miles every panel had paint peel got £500 on Ebay

Thank you. It is photogenic but not that good 'in the flesh'. Too many different shades of boston green. Would need a respray but, instead, I'll be chucking the green panels and replacing with tribute 507 panels (grey) next month so won't be boston green much longer.

@Duncodin Are you considering selling the hard top when you repanel? If so, might be interested.

Sorry. No. I'm going to try adapting/chopping it to fit the tribute bodywork.
