The odd one in the UK has sold for that sort of money, but you're talking of
a virtually new car in terms of condition. 

Around $8,000 equivalent is not uncommonly asked for, but don't know if it's
achieved, particu;larly these days.

MSRP is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (list price.) The prices above
seem REALLY high to me. The prices you've spent are clearly on the low side.
I've spent between $75 and $4400 on each of the ones I've bought, but most
have been less than $2000. I once helped a friend drive one off for free.  

The cheaper they come, the more work and $$$ they take to make servicable.

I think the thought of a $14,000 Type 3 is just a dream.
