]hi im Jess. i have a 1989 limited addition Austin mini. had it 3 years now, as my very first car. amazing little run around and is cheap to run, but having some problems with it and i cant afford to have it all sorted out also dont think its going to go through its mot in march. there is rust around the front (bonnet ect) the A panel on one side worse then the other side also around the bumper. leak on the passenger side, inside, unsure where its coming from and to be honest is a bad leak. kangroo jumps when clutch is rode too much, unsure what is wrong with it there, but i find i have to turn the engine off for 10 minutes and its back to normal. still drivable, just some problems. on the positive side, i have original alloys, im told worth a good amount. im looking to sell it, but insure whether to sell the wheels separate to the car or sell the car for spares. despite all the problems it has, i hate the idea of selling it, but i think its time. any info would be helpful thanks !!

Welcome

and... it's a Limited Edition not addition... Limited additiona sounds like a learning problem..

Which is it... even as a project, if it's still got all it's original bits then it'll be worth more than one which is missing bits, and the wheels will not be worth that much, £100 for std alloy wheels in good nick with good tyres is top money, usually a little less.
