Just a quick one guys, got in touch with the guy just awaiting on a reply, after roughly what this would be worth in todays market:

MOT: 9 Months
Tax: SORN

Good Points

It starts first time and runs well
Gear box and clutch are in good condition
New battery
It has 9 months MOT
four new tyres on minilite look alike wheels.
It is virtually RUST FREE
It has been resprayed white with a black roof and the log book has been changed
I have recently put in a new chrome steering wheel and red carpet kit in the boot
It has black leather seats which are fairly new and in fantastic condition
front and rear seat belts

Bad points
The speedo is not currently working however the fuel and temperature gauge are.
The hazard lights are not currently working
The choke cable could do with being replaced however this is a cheap fix
The heater cable is missing also a cheap fix

Excited to have finally found a mini that I really like the look of, just hope it all checks out, need to HPI yet.







Sorry for not rotating last pic! Only thing I can see from pics is a tad of rust on the sill and either the bumper or reg plate looks a bit skewiff?

Cheers,
Dan

Been advised it has oversills, anyone got a pic of the difference between standard and oversills, apparently could be hiding some rust?

Could be a bargaining point, if we assume the worst and assume that the over sills are hiding rust, what kind of price would I be looking at for cutting the old ones of, welding new ones on (plus price of parts aka new sills).

Can't grind or weld myself, so it'd be a professional jobby. But whatever the average is (plus £100) I'll try bargain off the car.

i paid 1850 for my 87 998 bit more rust but a very good interior. 2 years ago

[iDemonix]

Cheers lapider, the interior on this one is pretty clean but non-original (but I'm aiming for original-ish exterior and a tastefully modded interior to my tastes)

[iDemonix]

Haha, I think the guys a bit of a plonker and I might walk away.

A reply was "lowest id take is 1900 as thats what i paid"

Which is funny, as this Mini sold on eBay about 4 months ago for £1350!
