Orange p7 - 1993?

[-L-]

Last year was a bit of a conundrum time. My beloved P7 is too small and racey for me nowadays, so I went and bought a cyclocross bike which I use for commuting. Since then, the Orange has been sitting in the garage with nothing to do

So the question is, what should I do with it? The its a 17" Orange P7 in purple. with...
XT thumbshifters
LX brakes and three finger levers
Onza bar ends
Pace RC35s
LX Cranks
LX front shifter
XT rear shifter and 8 spd block
Mavic 230TIb rims with double butted spokes and blue/red alloy nipples
Hope Hubs
Xlite skewers
Michelin Wildgripper tyres

Now I'm tempted to sell it, but have no idea what its worth. If I keep it, I'd like to get it back to "showroom condition" - i.e. respray etc. but with a lack of time on my hands, I'd have to pay someone else to do it and have no idea what sort of ballpark cost I'm talking about...

What's your two penneth worth.

I'll post pics later!

a good picture or 2 would help too

Think the serial number points towards a May 1993 frame. If that's the case then it's one of the first p7's as 1993 was the first year they were available.
