Pictures would help when determining a price Tiaan, but that said you've clearly done a lot to your 1275 E. That would mean that the prospective owner would be able to hop in and drive the car without having to worry too much about the mechanicals.
An original E, with original paint and interior goes for around 25k. If it is a low mileage, one owner car, this goes up to around the 40k mark. This doesn't mean that these are better cars, but are popular amongst people who are looking for originality.
I've seen tastefully modded 1275 E's go for somewhere between 30 and 40k, and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to pitch your car in that price range, given the fact that it is mechanically sound and the bodywork is decent.
Cheers.
