I am selling one of mine, what is your budget

Haven't decided on one yet but probably in the £2k-£3k area. Something around late 80's without too many modifications, as my son and I want to do those :)

[stevedx]

mine is a 1979 totally original 998, in good condition mot'd and taxed, centre clock dash, on around 52k, its insured for 3k, looking for as close to 2.5k as possible. Welcome to come look if you want!

[DevonWarrior]

Thanks Steve - I'm going to try and get along to Himley in a few weeks and then make a decision as to how much work/welding I'm prepared to do and hence what condition to go for. Never welded before but part of me is looking forward to it

Yours does sound appealing although a little older than I initially was thinking of but that may change :)

[stevedx]

well I dont think you would need to do much if any welding to mine

Deposit down on a 1988 Mini City E with 1340 engine.   Arriving Saturday :)

 

Will be looking to respray back to its original red at some point  (maybe not quite the original red though, I like flame red).   Any suggestions on a good spray shop in mid sussex ?

[stevedx]

glad you got one, shame you didnt get mine

Wasnt a blue one from eastbourne was it? saw that on ebay and was VERY tempted

[DevonWarrior]

Sorry Steve.

Yes Alex. It was the one was Eastbourne. Now sat in my Garage :)

[silve1999]

i was tempted by that too but the v5 still lists it as a 998cc??? 

It was a little outta my price range as well

[stevedx]

well my 1979 is still for sale if anyone is interested?

[silve1999]

got any pics stevedx? swap for a 1991 City? ;)

[stevedx]

need to sell or swap to get a family car, in the for sale or swap section on here

[Alex_B]

Ahh i am really jealous now looked like a really nice little car with the exception of the arches needed work and a few other little bits

[DevonWarrior]

Yes - The arches are coming off.  1st one off already.   I have found a couple of holes and I'm sure a few more to find but overall its looking very clean.  Will almost certainly update the V5 to the correct engine capacity.
