I see it had a "new" gearbox in 2007 - maybe you should hang on to GW's just in case.Chris said:
Seems very low mileage to have needed a whole new gearbox...Some service history would be useful is assessing what work has been done, when cambelt, BEBs etc were done.

I would go along and explain to the guy, that its for your best mate, who's car just went up in flames.
Appeal to his better nature, if possible.
Take some pictures along of GW. all burned out.
Try offer a cash lump,
ask him to take it off ebay soon as poss.
Appeal to his reason, that a dealer should not get it, and possibly exploit your good mate.

If this ends up going the distance on ebay Auction Sniper has always worked well for me http://www.auctionsniper.com/
Thanks for the sniper leads Fellas.
Look, I'm not going to find 'perfection' on one of these and I'll take what I can get in the best condition. Don't worry lads, I'm not 'on the rebound here' looking for love. Not going to do anything daft. I am prepared to do the whole thing over again, so to be fair, service history, cam belt, BEBs - all irrelevant. I shall be resetting the clock on that lot.
This is why I am keeping GWs remains for the time being. Parts I may later rely on!!
Re scuff panels / sill trims, sorry are you Guys telling me that yours actually stay on???? I was getting ready for gluing mine on!

Could be off for a wash Les, just a curiosity really as sometimes asking about that stuff gets an implausible answer where a simple one would do and lets the cat out the bag Chris *says* he's not on the rebound but we've got to watch our for him right?

Does look well in the photos & is an appropriate colour for a resurrection from the flames, a Phoenix you might say 
It is odd about the missing trim but could be a genuine sale as there is a new shape LWB Shogun in the background of a couple of the pics, maybe this is the replacement for the 80 
Good luck to you & watch out for the old auction fever

"Nil Flagetorium chequervarties siezum eighticus!"Chris said:It's not REAL Latin of course. Although, maybe it is and it's incredibly rude
Does this translate as "Don't let CF buy a burnt 80" have they made you an offer for the remains Chris? it's a very long time since I did latin at school.
Not quite Chas but close. I think that possibly you were studying the later neo-classical form of Latin, from the Chuffin School of Heraldry?
Translated, it quite literally means
"Don't let those bars'tds at Chequered Flag steal all the good 80's"
