According to the Special Car Journal web site, the value is about $3875.00 in
condition 3 - 4+ which is described as:
"Against each entry, three prices are quoted, according to condition.
Condition 1 to 2+ will therefore tend to be in excellent all-round condition
but not necessarily concours winners - which may well be able to command and
fetch more.
Condition 2 to 3+ are those that are sound and can be used immediately, but
might benefit from some cosmetic attentions; and
Condition 3 to 4+ ('restoration projects' deserving of 4 and 5 ratings may
possibly be bought for less still) will be complete and running but will
almost certainly require major restorative work."
Condition 3 - 4+ seems to be a little worse than what you have described.
Condition 2 - 3+ has a value of $7750.00.
