Thanks for posting this: it certainly looks a nice example and it will no doubt have a decent price tag. Interesting to see how much they are asking, maybe we’ll never know!

Shame they don't give a price,

Price likely north of £50K I suspect.

I agree, you'd expect it to be over £50k.
I find it difficult to assess values, especially for low mileage examples. Parkway have a few for sale (Pistonheads) but there aren't many advertised elsewhere unless I'm mistaken. There have been a few really nice examples noted on this forum over the past 6-8 months, but I'm never sure whether they in fact sell at these high figures.
It always intrigues me, as much as anything, for all of us to assess what ours are potentially worth, I suppose the market for cars that I like interests me.
Anyway, it would be good to see it going to an appreciative owner.

I saved a picture in May 2014 of a cracking 2001 S54 in LSB - 20k miles that was up for 43,850. That sold - although I don't know what for. Although this is perhaps a little safe, colour and interior wise, it has to be at least 45 based on that I'd have thought.

That one might have been the mine, although mine is on a 52 plate. Think I got it round about May time in 2014. It was on for around £44k from memory with just over 20k miles on the clock. Managed to get it for £38k in the end, which at the time was still probably above market value.

Had it valued last year by Hexagon for insurance purposes and another specialist at £65k, but it is the last RHD one ever made so that probably adds some value.

But it's only worth what someone is willing to pay, not that it's for sale!!

Interesting. My S54 was valued by BMWCC at £20K (about what I paid for it in 2005) a couple of years ago. Although in excellent original condition, it has very high mileage. My only concern is about replacing it in the event of a total loss. Don't know much about agreed value stuff, would just argue for a "replacement" should the worst happen. Have lots of pictures.
The upside of lower value is that I can continue to use it regularly, as I have always done, without worry about depreciation because of mileage.

Enjoy it while you can before we're all forced off the road to be replaced with driverless shite

Not me, I would no sooner get in a driverless car than a pilotless airplane. They are spending huge amounts of money trying to invent something that I, and many, many others don't want. Clive Sinclair must be in his element.
