just picked up a 1991 rover mini cooper (carb model) and wondering what everyone thinks its worth, no pictures at the moment but will list the work that needs doing

- both doors need re-skinning
- both doorsteps need replacing
- both sills need replacing
- offside front wing needs replacing
- rear valance needs replacing
- tiny bit of scuttle needs repairing
- and paint of course

other than that it runs fine, gearbox is good, 80,000 on the clock, mot and tax for a few months

so what's it worth in the condition it is now? and what would it be worth if i done all the work?

if pictures really are needed i'll put some up tomorrow when i get chance

thanks.

General thought is that any mini with tax and ticket is worth £800 minimum.

Looking at your, theres no way thats gonna go through another ticket without £300-400 worth of welding. The front ends gonna need replacing soon as well. On the plus side its an original car and still has the proper sills.

Do you have the correct door trims for it?

Done and with a nice paint job £2200-£2500(with the wind behind it and a good day), also all original and as it left the factory.

As it is, £800-£1200

Agree with Shifty here. Not forgetting it's a carbed Mini Cooper, that will alway's help the price.

Again, I agree with Shifty with one exception. I hope you know how to weld and paint because I can see that to do all the reconditioning needed will cost far more than £2500 if done professionally.

i've seen better go on flea bay for £800, so for me, probs £700 - £900 depending on the person interested, probs advertise at £1000 and be prepared to haggle.

no not at the moment but will try and either get them off the previous owner or track down some replacements

estimates are what i was hoping for, payed a nice price so for transport for a month plus a little profit im happy.

i got a friend interested in the car so if they want it it will go next month, if not im gonna do the welding and get my mate to paint it, put it on ebay, seems the best place for profits lately

thanks to everyone for the estimates and help

I value it at £600 - £750

I sold one recently in much better shape for £1150 with much lower mileage.
