It's got to be worth in excess of £4000 I reckon. Good time of year to sell as well. Models like the Rivage and sportline always command a premium over std cabs.
Dont bother with ebay but stick it on an enthusiast site such as this one.
Good luck with the sale if you decide to part with it.

Not £4,000 high mileage. Only 5 months tax and MOT.
Tidy origional example. There has been some on E bay for the 4 grand plus and they haven't sold. Jay jay still has his. Next couple months as we come into sprung and summer is when prices climb a bit. Mk1 Jim has a good example for only £1750. Maybe underpriced the true test is what the market dictates. There are some bargains out there if you look. At least yours is a really nice origional exams and not mucked and modded about too. To me that's a massive plus point. I only paid £1,400 for mine in winter time. But it has had a few quid spent and still got to put a new roof on. 
A car is only worth what someone will pay for it and how badly the seller needs to get rid. A plus selling point for higher value is a leather interior which was optional for the blue version. As a secondhand interior can command £4-500. Alone.
Go through the cars for sale ads. Look at the pics descriptions etc and compare yours etc. then contact the member and ask if it's sold or not and if do how much the asking price was compared to what they actual recieved. It's all in the research. Personally I'd keep it lol.

That's looks like a clean example. I just bought a Sportline and looked at a few Rivages too. If its as clean as the pics suggest I would say around £3k, it would fetch more if it had leather and lower miles.

Good luck with the sale, it looks very nice indeed
