What reserve would be suitable for this Sepia 73.5T?








Am planning on listing this on BAT, soon.

I have owned this car since 1990, my brother owned it since 1977, before me.
It's got 95K miles with all service records from new (sold new in S. Calif).
I'm 70 & have taxes to pay, or I would keep it. Kid is not a car enthusiast.

Transaxle was re-syncroed on 1,2,3 & resealed recently, as new internally.
Engine was rebuilt with new #3 piston 20K miles ago, but noticed some gold flakes last oil change, so stopped driving it.
Engine runs & sounds great, but loses oil pressure slowly.
Can't afford to have it fixed. Likely bearings are wearing.

Original factory paint with exception of hood being painted (perfect match) and door was slightly damaged and repainted- again, good match.
Car is remarkably original throughout, absolutely no corrosion anywhere- that's right- it was always garaged.
Good original headliner, with slight glue stain above rear window.
Seats are good, carpet is good, dash has no cracks, original steering wheel.
Michelin XWX's lots of tread, but old. Fuchs nice.
Just polished & waxed it with Griot's + random orbital buffer- paint is awesome.
Sooooo...
What do you folks think would be a reasonable Reserve Price to ask from BAT?
