I am a bit geographically challenged at the moment as the local Australian News Agent doesn't appear to have Practical Classics on the shelf.
I am trying to ascertain the price for a MK1 Austin A40 Farina from the PC car price guide. Does anyone know if I can access the price guide online?
As I am looking for the price and the definition of constitutes a 'good' vehicle in the price guide.

Re: Practical Classics Car Price Guide
From memory I think it's something like:
Condition 1
Cars are in excellent condition in all respects. They are not concours,but are superbly maintained and free from major faults.
Condition 2
Cars are capable of regular use. They have a current MOT, but will need work and/or original parts to make them condition 1
Condition 3
Car usually needs a complete rebuild, but might be driveable.

/\/\/\ WHS.
Prices for A40s seem to be fairly true to the guide just now, looking at a couple for sale which are a '58 MK1 saloon and a (1098cc) MK2 Countryman, the former has all of its factory panels apart from the sills, those have been fitted correctly (noses tucked under the wings and welded to the lower footwell sides, wing bottoms then replaced) and the asking price for that rare (all one colour and has the flying A and other early bits) car is a very fair (IMHO) £2199 from a private seller who's had it since 1997 and is a NECPWA member. That one from the yellow paper.
The MK2 must be equally rare as it's a fleet model with the solid rubber screen surround and fixed rear quarter panes, sills have been replaced and are full length but the owner's provided photos to demonstrate that in fact he's made good the inner sill and nose areas with his own design that may not match Thatcham's take on how it should be assembled but is all solid and should keep the mud out.
He reckons that it's a modern GM colour (a pale heliotrope-ish thing) but it looks fine and was listed at £1700. (Gazette used car classifieds, sub-£2000 section) That was a proper bargain for some jammy bugger. How long can these be this cheap?
(In 1982, LKS630 and XJR40 cost us £550 for the pair
, LKS even then in showing condition and XJR only needing half a sill and a set of brake hoses for test before being put to regular use. Roll it back. Do this now!)
