It would be worth as much as a piece of string is long. Put another way, it would be worth the price at which a willing buyer and willing seller agree to do a deal.

I wouldn't value a running, complete oval at anything less than R40k. A perfectly restored oval could be worth R100k or more. I've seen planty of ovals advertised between R30k and R70k.

Valuing restorations is never easy, because the quality of restoration work varies so widely. I would value a scruffy original car higher than a poor restoration.
