I don't know what they typically go for, but I'd want it as original as possible for that sort of money, not with "wrong" headlamps and a cut bonnet. (And what ever else doesn't show on the pics).

There have been a couple for sale recently AFAIK including that on on Pistonheads. I think they're worth whatever someone will pay, like a lot of (rare) stuff.

 

I think it's telling that this has been advertised for a while now, it's certainly not the first time I've seen it recently.  There was a recent forum thread mentioning the FW's and their whereabouts: it also mentioned fire-damage to one?

I'm with dave would need to be totally stock for me

 

 

After speaking to one or two people at the factory Pretty sure that this car above was the only genuine fw400 400kg car when it left the factory as It had full carbon bodywork and one or two other carbon parts fitted, one of  which would have been carbon headlight bowls which look to have been removed .

 

These are an awesome car but damage it and there are no off the shelf parts for these
