I know the auction has ended but it was starting at £1500 no reserve.

Just wondering what people thought the auction might have ended at ??

In the summer (with Tax and MOT) it might have reached that price IMO.

The blister on the doors don't look too bad but I'm a bit wary of the rust which looks like its on the sill? (Not sure)

10 Owners and 60K on the clock? I am very dubious about that personally.
Is that a BOC interior?

Big wheels and arches dont make it worth more IMO, I would value it as £1000 if it was solid and not like a patchwork quilt.

[slyoldfox2001]

it was restored approx 2.5yrs ago to quite a good standard.
the rust on the door and door step isnt too much to worry about
seems on the front are good
boot floor good
underneath sills are good
scuttle good
other door good
roof good

interior has had new carpet with sound deadening
balmoral interior

stg 1 kit exhaust system

w&p dash


not bothered about the number of owners.......better its had 10 good ones than 1 bad one :0)

Buying or selling Steve ?

[slyoldfox2001]

buying :0)

i sold it 2 yrs ago to the current owner after doing most of the mods myself.
a club member restored the car to standard spec.

i am so tempted to buy it back as its a really really good mini
i did L2B in it 3 yrs ago and is still on the local mini club website - www.rcmoc.org.uk

Bid him on it.
WSould start with what I think it is worth, After all it had no bids at 1500 !!

My Mayfair has something like 14/15 owners, with only 55K on the clock (and thats genuine )

Seeing as your buying, I'd offer him about 800-1000 - It looks like it'll need a bit of work doing (I suggest you go and have a look at the car before hand, I've made many a mistake)

[slyoldfox2001]

since i sold it the car has done 4000 miles

of course i will start low but dont really know where im gonna end up

cant really go by ebay values until the auction ends.
he pulled it and it didnt see the end so we'll never know

all i do know is that i sold it for £2850 2 yrs ago and i had 3 seious buyers fighting over it

But was it in better condition? Two years can see a big change to the structure.

I'm surprised it hasn't made the £1500, seems about right, if a touch low even. I'd be cheeky and offer £1000 cash, and hold out your hand!

[slyoldfox2001]

the owner pulled the auction with 3 days to go.
he didnt want it to sell for £1500 as he thought it was worth more and was concerned that none of the 55 watchers had made a bid.

when i bought the car first time round it was pretty standard but had just been restored.
i then fitted the w+p dash with mpi clock, steering wheel, new carpet, balmoral interior with doorcards, alloy door handle kit, new 12x6 wheels, new grp5 arches, new windscreen, maniflow stg 1 kit.

all this was only done 4000 miles ago

im a bit suprised by the rusty door....however thats a relatively cheap fix.

13months mot is quite reassuring
