Hopefully a mod will move this into the valuation area, you'll get a better response there.

Also get some pictures up aswell, all helps

Cant tell without pictures, but it sounds like it might be worth giving it a clean up and chucking it on ebay, especially as your self valuation seems low even with damage and rust it cant have depreciated by 60%.

Or it might be worth sorting out some of the bits yourself as no insurance doesnt mean you have to sell it combined with the fact mini's are going up in value, thats what I would do or should of done just instead I sorted out my insurance but now cant afford petrol or anything else.
