	Hello I have been offered a rover sd1 v8 vanden plas auto that needs its restoration finishing off. the car is very rust free its has some small spots of surface rust but no welding needed. it has had a fair amount done to it including fully poly bushed rear end new brake lines new dampers and rebuilt front calipers as well as having all new underseal applied. the interior is in good condition with no wear on the seats it needs a few bits like a new fuel tank, rear exhaust, handbrake cable but the engine is the main problem it hasn't run for about 20 years and when looking at one of the heads it has a hairline crack in it. I was just wondering how much it is worth as I have been looking for one for a while. Many Thanks Ryan

	It's obviously difficult to say. Parts are generally plentiful and cheap, you can get a pair of heads for 60 quid or so. If its just engine problems I'd start sub 1k. For information I paid 1k3 for a Vitesse in a slightly better state (good car that didn't run).
	I've got Rovers.

	i was just going to say, depending on numerous things, 600 to a grand. 800 sounds ok if you have viewed the car and like it. good luck.
