What do you all reckon this single cab is worth and what are your predictions of the final price? Has this thread gone a little quite because your all bidding?

Thanks for that info Lee

Have any of you Syncro owners come across this van which is on ebay? Looks a bit rough and a costly project but may be worth saving? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120812361079?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Would apreciate ...
