Top quality early Series 1 are going for silly money these days. £40k+ is not unheard of, although whether something that has been "restored" to within an inch of its life is actually worth more than something "lived in" is a question for the individual.

Exhibit A: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C579895 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Blimey, I never knew those primitive old things commanded that kind of money. Shocked Get a 2005-2009 RRS (FAH500210) sat nav/dash mat here - the one that wasn't there when you bought the car.

Spiffing wheel centre caps available
