If close to 12ft-lb, it must be pretty special. All my Mk 11's, with decent tap sealing, produced around 10.
As per previous post, good photos would help in coming to a realistic valuation. I've paid/sold for as a liitle as £100 for a very good unmolested example with wear and tear commensurate with age and £400+ for a mint example.
P.S. a cracked/badly repaired stock is usually a no-no for collectors. As a project, I would say the previous poster's valuation is about right.
Happy Shooting!! Paul.

Sounds potentially pretty rough, you need pics. The power claim appears optimistic to me.
If the rifle hasn't been shot for a while it may be dieseling slightly. I would expect nearer 10 ft/lbs.

£80 tops to be honest. The stock is the killler on value I am afraid.
The front sight hood missing knocks it slightly as well. Probably make a good yard gun or for spares for someone.

I side with Dean C in this respect based on having seen a few of them sold over the years (although possibly erring a bit lower still). However, as already pointed out, a damaged stock as described might make it only of interest to a select few. Maybe a few photographs included with the original listing would help with valuation if that can be managed.

Won't let me post pics on this section ??!!
You should at least be able to post a link to pics on a photo hosting site. Explanation is in the forum stickies. However, I think your description, especially the bit about the cracked stock - which I missed when I first replied - is probably sufficient to justify the sub-£100 estimates above.
Finally, don't forget that the value of anything is exactly what someone is prepared to pay for it. In that respect, I would suggest you list it for sale (on a new thread, per forum rules) at a higher price, which you can gradually reduce until it either sells, or you decide you don't want to go any lower.
