It's a 2002 bike. Currently at about £800 with 7 hours to go. Just wondering what a ballpark figure would be?

2002 wasn't a great vintage apparently (that's what my 501 was) - think both 01 and 03 were considered better.
There's plenty of threads https://husaberg.org/forum/ detailing issues with specific years from what I remember.
If it's just got enduro wheels and not much else, but with T&T, maybe £1k, but doubt that much more. They don't hold their value that well compared to KTMs etc. |

Aye, just enduro wheels has 12 months T&T. They haven't disclosed how many hours, so I'm trying to find that out, but fair I'll check out the Huseberg site. Thanks G. 
EDIT-
After a bit of research, these are the issues:
Cam follower bearings: Break up, enter engine they all go eventually ('02 only). Mine finally went in 3rd season of racing... 
Stator/ignition: This is the SEM ignition used until end of '03. Can be no spark or runs and stall's moments later-see electrical. Stator's can lose varnish, go rusty and crack their plaasticoating. You’re lucky or you’re not! It's heat related (Lineaweaver). Check out this UHE Forum Thread.
Oil leak from cylinder head/rocker cover: Oil seeping around front: Either the breather tube dowel is loose or oil is seeping from head/rocker interface: Plane the rocker cover and and/or the top of the cylinder head as both can distort. For the rocker cover use a pane of glass, P600 wet 'n dry, soapy water and some clothes pegs. Smear the P600 with soapy water and then turn the head/cover 90 degrees every 6 strokes. You can even aerosol spray black paint on the surface to see how it's going.
Camwheel ('02) if aluminium-they wear too quickly so go straight to steel. :banghead:
Sprague bearing if you continually start the bike from cold with the leccy boot, the sprague will 'spin through'. The whole system (battery, starter, sprague) was beefed up for '04 and no more problems. Try to start it with your foot and only when warm go to the leccy boot. 
Kickstart seal: oil weeps from the boss even when 10 minutes old! Uprated in ‘03+ to an 'O' ring.
Sidestand plates: Wear oval. Eventually the end hammers a hole in the bottom of the tailpipe.
Clutch pipe: Splits and weeps. One fall, it leaks at top flexy knuckle. Upgraded '03, but can also use a KTM250F pipe.
Waterpump pipe off: Just pops off on left cover. Needs a taller barb/lip. Build up lip.
O dear. 
Seems the 2002 bikes were a bit weird because Husaberg were between two different factories, so the specs of the bikes can be a bit different.

BUMP.
Not won the bike, but I've been offered it for £1k, just want to know what the spares supply is like for the pre 2004 bikes. All the websites I can find only seem to list spares back to 2004.

This one has a loud pipe anyway, and a working electric start. 
Still tempted.
