What's it worth? (Locoblade content)

I bought this about 18 months ago and have rebuilt it from scratch basically. I have really enjoyed doing all of the work on it, but now I can actually drive it, I'm a little concerned I won't get the use out of it strangely.

This isn't a for sale ad, as I haven't decided what to do yet, but a brief run down is as follows:
2009 registered as a Locost on a Q plate
MOT'd until Dec '15
893 blade engine (and 2 spare engines and a spare set of carbs)
Professionally rewired electrics
New coilovers all round
Unfitted Billet sump
Real carbon fibre side panels (fabricated by me)
New lightweight nose cone, bonnet and rear panel
Bodywork sprayed in bright orange plastispray (orange on the V5)
Refurbed minilites with yokos
Acewell digidash
English rear axle
Rebuilt front and rear brakes
New wheel bearings all round
2 x spare pairs of half shafts
1 x spare rear axle casing
1 x spare pair of rear drums
Cable gear change (unfitted)







As above really, what would a summer price be? In all reality, I'll probably use it during the nice weather (when it comes) and absolutely love it, but I'm just weighing up my options at the moment.

I'd take a stab at around 4k, depending on finish.

Thanks for the reply. Including all the spares I'd be hoping more towards the 5k mark really, but I haven't decided to sell yet, going to see if I can rekindle my love for driving it if/when summer finally arrives!

It's quite likely you would get 5, I forgot the spares, plus so many new parts.

Im home on monday, I'll pop down with the carb balancers then go out for a drive... that should reignite the spark

Also, I'm thinking of booking a testing day at teesside (basically a private track day) 2nd june if you fancy coming down? think its around £75 each! that will definately work!
