I think Avion Ancien has about summed it up.
One view is that a one off is unique and therefore desirable and presumerably expensive articularly if it is a well known airframe with an interesting history.
On the other hand there is still a lot to do to get the Bluetit into the air and I would imagine that its flying qualities and abilities must be a bit of an unknown so this must count against it when determining a price.

G-ASEA said no more than that it was being advertised for sale in the LAA magazine. From what T-Bolt says, presumably the advertisement carried no asking price. I suspect that it would be impossible accurately to value an “one off”, 80 years old aeroplane. Thus I suspect that the most practical answer to your question, T-Bolt, is to approach the owner, ascertain the price he is seeking and use that as a guideline as to whether to pay that price; or to enable you to decide what offer you might make that will not insult the owner but will be comfortable with your personal perception of its value; or to walk away with the opinion that the owner’s perception of its value is more than you would be prepared to pay.

Sort of, but the question was never answered!

Err, hasn’t this been done already on another thread some weeks ago?
