I've just bought this car as a new project and was just wandering how much the value of this mini is as it is?

Welcome Along

 

Assuming it has no MOT and the worst rust is the bits in the photographs then i would say roughly £800-£900,

 

What are your plans for it?

Welcome

There will be a LOT more rust once you once start cutting back at the front end. The scuttle/ wing/inner wing is a famous rust trap. But it looks a good project. I am not as generous as Ben and think it's worth around £500 as it will need a complete strip and sort to be decent again.

Hi i am buying it on Friday and it comes with a new MOT

[Tamworthbay]

It will need some rust removal sooner rather than later. The MOT only checks roadworthy ness and we have seen some crusty cars on here over the years that have MOTs. Good luck.

Welcome

 

 

Thats also got some strange body modifications too, so be sure to pull that all apart and check for rust underneath, fiberglass modifications can be rust traps too.

I paid a bit more than 900 for it with the MOT, any suggestions on the colour to get it resprayed?

[Ben_O]

I would worry about sorting the bodywork first before colour ideas.

 

Both of those front wings are going to need replacing at the very very least but being a Mini, you will soon discover lots more areas once you get stuck in.

I  would suggest white

Thanks for the information, i'm looking forward to starting the project, once I start I will most definitely be in touch.

Hello and welcome

Keep it yellow with a black roof or maybe a black / yellow checkered roof?

Scalextric replica!
