As Terry says they are now generally what you are prepared to pay for it. I tend to value them to my needs - normally 100% original or with period Hop-Ups.

However that isnt a mint, 100% original new-built Egress so Terry's estimate to me is about right.

Its definitely been at least part-rebuilt at some point - there are incorrect damper springs, missing Egress-specific BF8 & 9 front sus arm damper mounts, white Vanquish wheels ( lucky he has the original black ones ! ), several of the Egress-specific Titanium screws look like they have been replaced with normal zinc plated screws, and scuffed Hi-Cap dampers... and thats just what i notice without studying it too hard. If i had better pictures i could double check the above and maybe notice any other anomaly's for you.

So its Ebay value is anybodies guess - but i could see someone who dosent know better paying 200 quid or more on that thinking it was mint condition 100% new-built & original. But to get it back to mint condition & 100% original will take a bit of time and a fair bit of money.... over what Terry has estimated for his worth of the car if im honest.

I'd sell the 02H motor seperately, list the Egress as 'part rebuilt, missing some specific Egress parts but in very good overall condition' and see where it takes you if you want to be honest about it. If he has the original box & manual all the better though.

Sorry if i sound harsh, but the Avante/Egress family are my 'speciality' cars in my collection and even ive been caught out in the past, so i just say it as i see it
