From ebay as a guide, id say the wheels are worth 200-250 resale value, engine 250-350 depending on which way the winds blowing. The 340 itself 200-300 depending on cond. Nothings been selling much above that recently as far as ive seen.
Whole package?
Who knows dude. You might be better selling seperatly?
Depends on what people are offering you i supose.

I'd say you'd get quite a bit more than £250-£300 for the engine on : http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/ standard ones go for that sort of price so with the tuning goodies and machining work i reckon they would lap it up over there.

Again as a complete car, it's hard to value as people still look at them as just old Volvo's with a quicker motor stuck in it.

At a rough guess though i'd say anywhere between £900-£1500 depending on how clean the shell really is, i think the main problem being is unless you get everything very cheap and do it yourself i doubt you'll see your money back TBH.
