okay so i'm just wondering after I've completed the restoration of my mini this year how much it would be worth if I was ever to sell it (which i probably won't, will be an old granny still driving it round lol) and so I got a rough idea for insurance. I have some current pictures of it but it is not quite finished.

Any ideas would be much appreciated

Its a 1979 Mk3 Austin Mini,

I'd put it in the 2-3k private sale bracket....

How do you mean? doors were 2nd hand and in good condition, my old ones got twisted in hit and run but these were sound.

when he previous doors were twisted it must have twisted the flitch/hinge panel, as that door has a bit of a gap at the bottom.

very nice car though, i'd estimate £2.5k-£3k

Ah right - the door got damaged on the other side, has always been like it on this side - will have a look at it tomorrow though - cheers
