hey all, i recently had a crash in my mini, just want to get a quick valuation of how much you think it was worth so i can explain to them on the phone when they probably try to give me 300 quid:
its a 1989 mini city e, it has covers alot of miles around 110k but has been rebuilt with solid/new floor pans etc, i am going to get pictures 2moro to prove to the insurance

here are some pictures:

What interior has it got in it? I see two sets of front seats :S

If it's got MOT/TAX I would say the least it'll be worth is about £850-£1250. With modifications the price will increase although if you didn't tell them when you took your policy out they may try and squirm out of it.

by the way I love how your 6x9's are placed on the parcel shelf

the speakers have moved dw
the seats are now the black leather look ones (clubman) it has like speaker board etc now
it does not have an agreed value i just wont accept like 300 quid because i will not be able to get the same quality mini for that

mot and tax both until march 2010

thanks

hi there,

If your dealing with insurance, I would say around the £1200 mark, although may be less with that many miles on the clock. How bad was the damage?

It'll always be worth much more to you than anyone else.

Any pictures of the crash damage? If they do say its only worth £300, ask if you can buy it back from them. Good Luck.

I'll give you £301 for it

Could you not get it valued (pre accident condition) and give the certificate to the insurers?

I haven't a clue to be honest with you, maybe try your local Mini club? (I don't belong to one yet ) Run out and buy the Miniworld mag - there might be some info in the back of it - if not it'll still be a good read.

I take it your claiming on his insurance?
