Hi Gareth,
g-man has asked the first obvious question, which will very much influence the price you can hope to achieve for the bottles.
The next question relates to the condition of the bottles. Are any of them showing signs of leakage? What is the fill level? Have they been stored is a cool dark place for 40 years?
1970 Dow is a seriously good vintage port. The price people will pay is very much dependent on the provenance/condition of the bottles so the more information you can give us the better it is for all of us.
