[proudycooper]

oops the price is wrong it's actually £5990

[Bungle]

hello ash

thats a lot of money for a racing green

[proudycooper]

gonna offer him 5000 for it!

is it an spi on a H plate?

[Bungle]

the engine that came in the car from new would of been a 1000cc carb

[proudycooper]

when i went to go look at it says registration date as 1994, could this be because of an engine swap?

[minimadjonesy]

I;m not sure that it is an SPI! Would expect a H reg to have a carb, could be wrong but I'm sure one of the techie guru's will correct me if I'm wrong!

And as bungle said, it's a bit high in price!

[proudycooper]

how much should i be looking to pay for one this age?

[Bungle]

H reg is 1990 unless someone has changed the plate

a 1994 is L reg

what is the full spec for the car

[proudycooper]

thats what i realised when i got home off back this sat' to find out wots happened and hopefully haggle the price!

[Bungle]

good luck

while here check out the rest of the site

could have any engine in that car if its been restored. Pop bonnet and take a look around.

- Check for rust all over. A panels, floors, sills, front wings and panel. subframes etc
- Rock engine to make sure its sturdy and not banging about or anything.
- Check clutch is good

There the last 2 things people normally check and rust is a always check on a mini.
