I'm seeking thoughts on how much my 1973 1300 Beetle might be worth if it was put up for sale. This is a taxation class Historic Vehicle and as such does not require (or currently have) an MOT. It is a stock vehicle and has been in my ownership since early 2005. It can go well but recently has had limited use.
Any questions, advice and valuation suggestions welcome.
Regards

Looks like a straight wee car that hasn't been messed with which helps.
Any idea what it is like underneath, ie floor and heater channels etc.
Hard to judge on just those pics but with the lower rear quarter bubbling out could be into the channel. Is interior tidy and original?
If you were going to sell it I'd give it a damn good polish, body and chrome work. Pump up the tyres, put some tyre dressing on them and the running boards too. Even tcut those rust stains. Might seem daft but it'll add £ as it'll look a bit less sorry for itself.
Smull's estimate seems about right, hard to judge though as I'd said, Bug prices seemed to be on the up, but at the minute nothing is really shifting for obvious reasons.

Greetings and thanks for your informative and valued comments. Some really interesting suggestions especially on pricing, polishing and MOT. I had someone looking but due to some unexpected expenses on their existing Beetle the trail has gone cool. There are a couple of jobs to tackle on steering wheel horn push and front offside brake cylinder prior to MOT.
If you hear or know of anyone who might be interested please give me a shout. You just never know. Thanks once again and of course any further comments are welcome......spike
A steel sunroof Beetle is a rarity in the UK , good luck with whatever you decide to do with it .
