Hi, I need a valuation for my 1975 MKIII (see below). She has is in excellent condition and comes with the original sales receipt and all MOT certificates. She has 74K miles on her.

 

Original vinyl seats and flooring.

 

The body work is in very very good condition, she has never been restored and runs extremely well.

 

 

Passed MOT earlier this year with no advisories at all. Four tyres were replaced last year.

 

Sorry but I am having problems embedding the pictures. please take the time to open the links

I'm no good at valuations, but thought i'd embed your pictures for you so people can see them easier to help.

 

It's also a glorious car!

Thank you very much for the comment and computer skilz :)

It looks absolutely spotless so id say a pretty decent figure to be fair

Neil, is that the original paint or has it been resprayed?

 

Looks superb, what ever you do please don't restore it just keep it as it is.

[neiloliver]

The paint is original. The pictures make it look brighter than in real life. She is damask red. One wing has been partially resprayed I think but by one of the two previous owners.

I am looking for a valuation as I am looking to sell her.

As its all original & looks in mint condition id say id expect to see a car like this for sale for £5k +
I am far from an expert & theres a lot of people on here thatll give you a better valuation

Must be an early 1975 being on a "n" plate....... Very nice indeed.... I'd say 5k onwards...... Depends if it's all original I suppose

Cheers james

Stunning original car. I know circumstances dictate but don't think I could part with that...easy 5k I would say.

[blacktulip]

similar condition to mine, i struggled to get the £4000 i wanted for mine a year ago, i settled for £3100 but then i bought it back for the same money. what a car is worth to what people are willing to pay are two different figures. i would say you would fall into the same ball park as mine, maybe yours is worth a bit more as its very original. i would put it up for between £4000-4500 and see how you get on. it looks very original. i love MK3 minis

[surfblue63]

That's a nice looking original car which I would also value at £4-5000. I'd advertise at £4995 and take offers.

 

For comparison here's an original Clubman that was purchased at auction for £4000 plus commission around 4 months ago. It was subsequently advertised at £6495 by the dealer who purchased it. They have reduced the price by £500 every month since.

i would put an insurance value on that of 5k but for a quick sale expect to get around half of that

Oh thankyou for posting up pictures of what is a truely original MK3...

 

There I was waiting for the inevitable reshell P.o.S

 

Honestly that should be worth what some people are asking for Heinz 57's

 

IMO, 4k, and an insurance valuation of 7k

 

You just don't get original MK3's every day of the week...
