And without knowing its MoT status, or seeing the bodywork! Brave man!!!

It's not worth what you paid… it's worth what someone else is willing to pay!!

If you're going to sell it then look around and research.  I'm hoping to read up on the series 1 and get one of my own in a few years.  I'll be expecting to pay a fair bit of money for one too as original series 1 are becoming sought after.  Some series 2 have been made to look like series 1 though from what I've seen on other forums (have the rear end changed to look like a swallowtail) which is a bit naughty.  

paul_c when did the series 1 actually finish and the series 2 begin mate?  What is the checklist to prove a series 1?

That's what I mean I wouldn't want to be caught out when I look so what defines a series 1?
