Marcos Maniacs

With all that said what does the group think the
following car might be worth??

1985 Marcos Manutla 3.5 FI, five speed, with 10,000
original miles, posi trac rear, a/c, power windows all
orginal interior and paint.  All the paper work
indicates the car as the factory demo assembled in
Calif and was also the Riverside Raceway pace car in
1986 (paperwork from classic motors, florida indicates
this haven't been able to confirm).

Any thoughts (would like to upgrade to a GT40....lol)
