it is a sad day for me to admit but pinkle has got to be sold to make way for a family friendly car :(
she is a 1985 'c' plate the best way to do this is with a list i think so here goes,

custom pearl paint pink/purple/blue with white pearl roof, arches, bonnet stripes and mirrors
1960's roof rack with hard wood slats
original option mini sunvisor (mega mega rare)
100 spoke chrome lowrider wheels imported from america (not as mint as they once were due to age and weather could be made mint with a paint) also 5th spare wire wheel (that is mint)
full RAYVERN HYDRAULICS system wired to perform front/back (could be rewired to perform side to side as well) running 24volt
the arches are genuine rover sport pack
chrome bumpers
wavey grille
cat eye head light covers
smoked head lights but will supply clears as well
crystal rear lights
twin fuel tanks
downton style mirrors

now the not so great bits
a panel has bubbled up and just split the paint :(
scuttle has small amount of bubbling

What kind of family friendly car are you after. The wife has a 55 place Citroën c3 vtr, in black with just under 60k on the clock. Valued at about £4k. Plus cash you way if interested.

Totally understand. I've got my eye on an E60 M5. Real value for money, just the toad tax is a little steep. Good luck with the sale.

Cant believe you're selling this. I remember seeing it in Minimag and then shortly after you parked next to me at SMD '08 (I think). Can't say it was ever to my tastes but credit where due, something completely different and very well finished. Deservedly drew big crowds. Good luck with the sale.
