Looks a clean little car, what sills were fitted, oversills or the correct fluted ones?

Way too high!!


Theres a lot of minis in the background of the picture, are those pictures of when you bought it or when it went in for repair?

The all white colour coding is a little '80s and will put a lot of (mostly) male buyers off.

Even some of the ladies might find it a "little in your face"

The boot doesn't appear to sit correctly.

I'd go around the £1500 mark

The pictures were from when we bought it, The car is still in the same condition. It has 41k miles. As for the colour, i agree i dont really like white but the wheels being white do make it look a little better and being having been a teenager in the 80's i have grown to like it. (and you get to spot rust problems really quickly, before they take hold)

In the '80s you could have bought a house with that!!

If I were trying to sell that, I'd replace the arches with some black gp2 ones and chrome trim. It would toughen up the car no end, and would help it appeal to more buyers.

a black roof trim would help...

Must admit, it's a bit "in your face" but...

any clean mini with MOT has got to be worth 1500 on the open market ( clean meaning no visible signs of rot )
