Finally and sadly I have to sell my Big Red Bus (see pics) - could anyone help me with a valuation?
Online valuations notwithstanding, I'd appreciate any pointers from you guys much more.
1996 7 Seat 210 estate, so that's an S210. Four lamps, that shape.
E200 engine - a 2 litre four with about 136bhp. Mileage is 108000.
Five speed auto, cruise.
GOOD POINTS
Very full history file, with services carried out at the correct intervals. Early on it's MB, then latterly I've had all the work carried out buy Andy Overs who is well known to some on the forum. Finally and sadly I have to sell my Big Red Bus (see pics) - could anyone help me with a valuation?

Five speed auto, cruise.
GOOD POINTS
Very full and indeed complete history file, with services carried out at the correct intervals. Early on it's MB, then latterly I've had all the work carried out buy Andy Overs who is well known to some on the forum. Bundles of receipts all kept in a proper anorak style.
Just been serviced and has a full year's MOT. New rear pads was all.
USUAL 210 HORRORS SORTED.
No rust. Two new MB wings fitted, a total of seven panels sorted and yes, that includes round the bootlid and the door tops.
Cross member welded and sorted.
New MAF, new thermostat - copes brilliantly in the heaviest of traffic.
All electrics work, including four windows and mirrors.
Sunroof works - expensively repaired by MB.
Runs very well indeed - high speed cruising returns over 30mpg.
Correct stereo: CD radio by Alpine or Becker, the single slot Audio 10 model. Great noise.
Boot liner
Dog guard and luggage cover - both work and are intact.
NOT SO GREAT POINTS:
One side of the rear seats won't fold. Common and easily fixed, it's a time consuming job I've not got round to.
Wheels could do with a refurb.
Classic aka Poverty spec - cloth and no air con, unbelievably!
Any guidance on what I should be asking would be gratefully received!!
Thanks
