I thought that.
The 101k miles is going to scare a few people, £4995 should get it gone.
Am I deluded about value?

Do you mean that?
I hope Nick, you mean £5995 - otherwise there is no point in this thread since even the chap with the Star kit was talking about £5k. I think I would have a queue for the car if I put it on at £4995. Clearly the market value is whatever someone will pay for it, but going by the valuation I got from CAP and comments from other members on this thread, I am trying for nearer £6k as a fair price. Thanks to folk who have commented on my eBay ad. I have altered the advert, including amending the MOT date etc which I hadn't realized had defaulted to January. Having paid for a month's advertising, I am going to leave it there even though serious buyers may miss it, and then re advertise in more focused forums such as Autotrader and Pistonheads once I get back from a short break at the end of the month. I have learned a lot from this thread and it is great to hear from those who can contribute their experience.
I am regarding the Star checkup as a benefit even though I think it was a p!55 take from someone wanting the car to sell it on. I wouldn't be happy to sell a car with defects (unless agreed) and so it was time well spent for me watching him do it. I believe MB charge quite a lot to do the same for prospective buyers of second hand cars.

Put the photos on a 3rd party hosting site (Photobucket is what most of us use), then just use links to them in your advert. You can display dozens of pictures then
Car looks very nice btw, good luck with the sale!

That's the way to out it, at £6k no interest due to it being too expensive given it's 100k miles, at £5k you'll have a queue of buyers.
