[TR] Help needed - '65 spitfire

[gandcanderson at comcast.net]

Looking at the Hagerty Insurance Valuation Tool for a 1965 Spitfire (the valuation tool is saying this would be a MkII) a #4 would be worth about $3000. However a #4 would be driveable which it sounds like this car isn't in that condition which would put the value less than $3000. However, it sounds like it has many new parts so I'm guess this might be a $2000 - $2500 car? 

I'm sure others will provide some good input on this. Good luck!

List: a neighbor just stopped by. Apparently his father had a 1965 spitfire (what would that be, a mark III?) which was put away in the late 1980s because of a bad starter. His dad never got round to the car and it has sat in a garage for 30 years. His dad recently died and he wants to sell the car. He asked what I thought it was worth. 



If it was a TR series, I might have an idea, but I am out of my depth when it comes to Spitfires. Maybe they are worth more after the latest episode of “The Incredible Dr. Pol” (apologies to all who so not watch Dr. Pol ). 



I am only telling you all what I know. The car has sat for 30 years, is apparently rust-free, has a little paint blistering on one fender and comes with boxes of new parts (including an interior kit) the father had bought tin anticipation of a restoration which never happened. 



Is this a $2000 car? $5000? Maybe more? 



Any ball park would help my neighbor sell the car. I have absolutely no interest, financial or otherwise.
