You're unlucky to have SBC, I thought with the facelift of 2006 that was replaced.
Mrs Me has the same motor, but 2009, 132k+ miles.
With the daft 2nd hand market now I feel it's worth closer to £4k than the £2.7K we paid 18 months back.
Whatever value it's a great car and worth more to us.
A couple of weeks back we returned from Torquay, the longer coast route. It was an easy drive and I think it would take a lot of money to buy a replacement that could beat the experience.
On a good run it can easily return 50+mpg.
Last month I had the wheels powder coated and fitted new tyres.
I've fitted a Chinese Android HU, so it has reverse cam and dash cam, as well as such as Sat Nav, music within its memory and more.
It's missing DRL's, for safety I may fit those later.
I would consider replacing for a 646 211, with grey interior that has drivers memory pack. Otherwise I don't see the point.
