I agree, £250K is a little steep, particularly considering how long it's been outside. Maybe not deserving of the price of a Hunter in a similar condition (very unairworthy I suspect!), but I doubt it would go for anything more than £100K (if that!). For much more than that you'd be wanting a something fully restored and virtually airworthy!

Price dropped down to £50,000, possibly sold for less but sold as of 17th March 2012 and now off site to a new location in North Yorkshire for restoration.
