The SE8 and values

[CalSE8]

Hi, Been looking at buying an SE8 as a cheap runaround. A long time ago I used to have a mint SE2.

How are the SE8's viewed? In comparison to my old SE2 its seems a bit low spec - cloth interior, no sunroof although you get aircon.
The one i've seen has done 120,000 miles, no tax, and the paintwork is tired with scratches and scuffs on a few panels. I'm thinking it may not be worth bothering with but then if its cheap enough!!! What's the going rate for them nowadays??

for an se8 with around 100k miles and in good nick with t&t £1000. for the one you've described id say 5-600

500/600 for a poor one 1200/1500 for a very good one.

Thanks for the replies. This one is £400 so fairly cheap then.

Are the SE8's desirable - or seen as the poor relation?

seems fair, and they are more desirable mainly due to been a later model (97) and of course galvanised
