If they are the original strings, keep them. Put them in the packet from the new strings and include with the sale.
As you say if all original, then that's good but the condition is going to devalue a bit. The most I've seen early 80s Fender basses go for is £1095 but that was immaculate condition with original hard case and paperwork. There is no refinish or replacement parts. Early 80s aren't hitting the silly money yet so you could hold on to it for a bit and see how things are in a few years. In that condition I think you'd be looking at a top end figure of about £850 unless anyone cares to suggest otherwise. And that wouldn't be priced for a quick sale (but would sell). The interest would be there for people born in 1983 and they are at an age group where they have money to buy.
Definitely more mojo'd then dog
