VALUES

You can still pick up a P6 project for less than a grand, but make sure you know what you’re letting yourself in for. The 2000 and 2200 are worth similar amounts – about £1500 for a half-decent one and £4000 for a good ’un. Prices for V8s start at about £2000 or less, while we’ve known good ones sell for around £6k.
