So the time has come that we need money so we can buy a house. So the decision was made to sell one of the minis. I've got an idea of what I want for it in my head but just want to get some other opinions to check I'm not dreaming.

Bodywork was all done a few years ago. This consists of: new front wings, front panel, scuttle, front floors, flitch repairs, inner sills repairs, outer sills (Not over sills!), rear quarter panels, drivers door skin, full heel board, repairs to rear floor, bootfloor. Basically any rust has all been cut out and replaced. This was all done by minidave who I believe is on here.

Exterior bodywork. It was painted by myself in smoke grey with a lambo orange roof. So paint isn't perfect but it isn't horrendous.
It's got carbon fibre group 2 wide arches, rear bumper and over riders. Bootlid is also carbon fibre but in a gel coat. Wheels are only 6 months old with falken tyres.

Interior: carbon fibre dash and handbrake handle. Vauxhall cavalier seats - these are properly comfy and have lumbar support and the drivers is height adjustable. Full black moulded mpi carpet. Heater has just had a new matrix.

Engine:
This was fully rebuilt this time last year. Spec is:

Big valve cylinder head (always forget the sizes but they're too big to run unleaded seats.
Minispares 1.5 roller tip rockers
Double valve springs
1275 block bored to 1293
Minispares copy omega pistons with new rings
Crank had a regrind and polish
Swiftune sw5 cam with new cam bearings
New cam followers
New oil pump
New water pump
Duplex timing gear
Gearbox.. gear shaft wasn't stripped but thoroughly checker over and cleaned (all was good so seems silly to dismantle it)
Centre oil pick up
Upgraded layshaft
Minispares X pin diff

Mg metro inlet manifold
Hiff44 carb with K&N cone filter
Manifold stage 2 exhaust manifold
Playmini stainless back box
Decat due to it being a 1992 (just misses the law of having one so no need to keep changing for mot!)
DSN oil filter housing with custom oil feed hose
Electric fuel pump with hidden cut off switch
DSN fuel pump blank breather
Minispare alloy rad

I think that's it... probably forgot something I'm sure!
And just to clarify, this will come with a new MOT on it and will be for sale as soon as I have it back (Tuesday).

Any help with what price to put on this would be very much appreciated!

Ta!

I have a thought on the value bit I'd be interested in buying it! PM me what figure you realistically have in mind. I'm in Southampton so not far.
