What's This Worth?

sgray100474

I've got this and was wondering if it is worth anything and if so, what?
The frame is Vitus 888, Brakes are Modolo(Professional I think), chainset and derailleurs are Shimano Dura-Ace. It's a Motobecane from the early 80s. Any ideas?

Photo is too small to determine condition which will have a big impact on value. If the components are in very good condition, you may get more by splitting the parts, otherwise going rate for a bike of this vintage is £250-500. Vitus 888 is not a common tubeset and is fairly heavy even for steel tubesets.

Hope these are of a better quality to make a judgement on.
