    Paintwork is generally in very nice condition apart from the right side
    fairing panel where there are some scuffs and scratches, but they don't
    detract from the appearance unless you get up close.

    No, it wasn't me...
    Just bought a s/h vgc replacement panel which needs spraying to colour, and
    decal.

    I've looked at the MCN classifieds and they seem to be advertised for around
    £4,000, which seems a bit ambitious to me. An import would be worth less,
    but how much less? 10%? With the low mileage, what do you reckon I should
    advertise it for, and would MCN be the best place to do it?

    Thanks very much,
    Martin.

    I've got bills, all the old MOTs, owner's manual, toolkit, Haynes BOL, pdf
    service and parts manuals, and paperwork for the alarm and datatagging.

    panel.
