I try not to give opinions on 'worth' any more - we have our in-house valuation service to do that.
Daft mods devalue.
Desirable mods might achieve the increment in value, but rarely that which would be reached by selling the additions separately (assuming the original parts were at hand as substitutes).
I don't believe that the car on eBay is #156. Different colour for starters.
The eBay car looks remarkably like #400, but converted to LHD.
It even has exactly the same after market steering wheel. The pods, wheel and calipers, badges are all the same colour as the last time we saw #400 for sale.
Which, very importantly, the last time we saw it, it was a Cat-B - total loss. Note it had already been in a big smack prior to this.

That front bumper is not genuine, looks to me like some one has rebuilt #400, changed to LHD, perhaps to get around the Cat B status.
can't help but think that its been near these two:
:rofl:
But seriously, I have lots of photos of this car over the years if someone wants to see them.
It is cheap for a LHD, but its not that cheap for a Cat-B RHD that had been in a serious accident and converted to LHD.
If you want a cheap LHD for track duties, This is cheaper, or alternatively This one

Cat B should only be dismantled for spares and it is NOT to be sold on for repair, Cat A is only for destruction. If this was Cat B the seller is in trouble for letting it get back on the road. What concerns more is if it is stopped by Mr Plod, it could be impounded for investigation and then destroyed.worth its weight in scrap if you are not careful, probably only any use as a non road going track car or for spares in the UK, otherwise back to Europe for it and caveat emptor.
I asked the seller a few questions about the car on Emma's eBay account, this was his reply lol.
"Hi Emma.special edition means that this is sport with orange collor wich made only with special order from factory.this is was English car but from rhd its been made to lhd.yes this is original color and body as you can see the engine its at the back v6.all genuine factory made"
