Ah yes I saw that advert...I didn't even click on it because of the paintjob...

 

however after looking through the ad it's a very very clean mini. Someone will have to spend money on getting a respray over the outside. Which has to be considered in the sale price.

 

Now i'm bidding on it HA! I wouldn't expect it to go over £3500-700. Also your location out in the boonies doesn't help.

 

If I were you i'd ask around for it to be sprayed old english white...probably could get it cheap depending on how much prep work you're willing to do.

 

I don't see it fetching £5900...might get it with a respray and the right buyer who is looking for that exact styling.

Why has it got a surfboard on the back?

 

If someone pays good money for that mess they need their head feeling, it's a ******* heap.

Er folks.. grab one of the mags from 10 years or so ago....were chock full of cars like this....tastes...thankfully have changed... But it wasn't exactly cheap to do and as such with a bit of luck there's been a few quid spent in the right places there.. so although it's bloody hideous... Hopefully not many will see beyond the ugly to what may well be a perfectly decent car underneath... It won't go for much so if I were in the market for a cheap project I wouldn't pass it by... Actually the opposite i'd go for that first... As damaged and covered in ugly there's a cheap deal to be done.

....ok I bet there's not much tinware left under the rest of the body kit 😁

90% of the time with cars like this the owner is expecting some crazy amount of money for the car due to the amount of money they have poured in themselves.

 

It'd be a monumental amount of work to undo all that crap as well, you would have to get it pretty damn cheap to make it worthwhile.

£5900 

Is it Old English White gold you're suggesting painting it with?

Im surprised that its got bids at all!!!

Love the bare unpainted or protected steel under the "bits that fell off", rust time bomb there under the rest of the body "styling" kit
