Hello from the OP. I feel bad, I introduced Deev to Kel. 

 

Sadly I have nothing good to say about him, he is a liar and complete waste of time. It was only after making legal inquiries, going to the police and threatening to report him to HM Revenue & Customs that I got any response.  Hoping that one way or another the 4 year wait Deev has endured can be almost over, and doesn't put him off the whole mini experience. 

 

Kel contacted me through the forum, I hope Deev and My experiences will prevent anyone else from having their mini dream being completely stamped on by Kel.

I think it's still going around in circles. Deev hasn't got his mini back yet.

I seriously can't believe what I'm reading here. I would have this man hung drawn and quartered in every legal way possible and banned legally from trading,
I would also have introduced him to the Glasgea Kiss ages ago

Deev did you get your Mini back in the end?

Sorry - haven't been very active on the forums of late (due in the main to still not having a Mini!!)

 

Not much happened for the first half of this year, largely due to me doing a lot of travelling with work and so not having the time to commit to chasing my car back but I finally have something to report - I have (a percentage of) my car back. After almost five years, around a month ago I towed the remains of my car to another garage who is in the process of trying to salvage the carnage. I say a percentage, because despite supplying a complete car, several parts and several hundred pounds up front, I have recovered a totally unroadworthy incomplete car missing such things as the driver door, fuel tank, sunroof (yeah - RSP sunroof - that'll be cheap to replace...), most of the glass, lights, mirrors, bumpers, handles, locks, brightwork, replacement suspension components I paid for, and lots (LOTS) more which have apparently been "misplaced".

 

The saga continues, and I'm going to have to sink a lot of money into resolving this (I've already had to pay to have the shell resprayed again as Kel's work was unsalvageably poor), but as you can imagine I'm doing all I can to recover my losses.

 

Yes - if this isn't a perfect example of why this man (now trading as "Upminster Classics") should be avoided then I don't know what else you need!

 

I'll keep you posted...

That is a horrific story, which deserves much sympathy, but also fantastic news that you finally got it back and that another RSP can live again. Best of luck with putting it back together again. Hopefully you can complete it for the 25th anniversary next year.

Good news that you have it back and a very sad story :( . Hopefully the new garage will get it sorted soon.

 

A couple of sunroofs:

Cheers guys. Keeping an eye on a couple of sunroofs on eBay, as well as door cards (also "misplaced").

 

Actually, WoE, you might be able to help me - glass - I know it's meant to be tinted but is it grey or green tinted? I'm slightly confused because I was sure the OEM sunroof was grey tinted, yet the only glass I've recovered are the rear quarter windows which seem to be tinted green? (assuming he's given my my originals and not just ones he found "out back" that is!) I'm trying to restore to as original as possible but that's proving more and more challenging for parts these days!!

Hi

 

Yes all the glass is green tinted apart from the sunroof. The sunroof it grey like the Defender one.

Have you considered putting a wanted ad for the missing parts over on the RSP Register Forum?
