Just joking, could be worth anything without pics and a bit more details :)

If it was a 325 shell, then it would probably be worth a little bit more

The question is, if its so clean why is the owner stripping it to a bare shell?

If it was pretty much minty mint and complete, I can't see why I wouldn't pay £1500 for it.

A bag of sand? I think he's a heroine addict and needs to feed it with a tag like that. Scrap isn't exactly on the up at the moment!

if it is mint i would be suprised !

it's amazing how many describe theirs as mint when they don't know where to look,
I spent 6-7 weeks trawling coast to coast every evening finding one with ZERO rust

I payed over a grand for one with zero rust, and it was worth every penny :D

Not mint then??

Just incase you are confused as to what 'mint' actually refers to: Mint Condition
