I don't think the mechanic was doing you any favours by giving you the heads up on the underbody corrosion as the car now has that on its MOT history for all to see which could possibly put a potential buyer off. If it was so minor surely it only warranted a verbal.
I get the impression that like so many car forum 'how much is my car worth' questions it isn't really a question at all, you already have a value in your head and are either wanting clarification or someone to make you an offer.
You quite obviously value your coupe at way above what I think it's worth so I'm sorry if my valuation offended you but if you did ask and please note that to date I'm the only one that's put a figure to it.

I'm not offended at the end of the day its only worth what someone will pay for it, I just think the value is being underestimated since when I purchase it for considerably more than any valuation being offered there where multiple people wanting to purchase it. Maybe your right about the corrosion and I will be sure to get pics of before and after I have it sorted and MOT'd. This should put any potential buyers minds at rest and more than that I would rather have the heads up on any potential issues so I can get them sorted. When I parked her up my intention was to bring her back out in the summer since I always garage her over winter. Life happened and I was driving other cars and don't mind leaving her garaged since its keeping the milage low and when I purchased her 8 years ago she had already spent 15 years garaged and just had £2.5 spent on decommissioning her. All with receipts of course.
