Hi guys, it pains me to have to do this but im going to have to put my mini up for sale due to needing money to pay off debts.

Right, i fully restored it in September 2010 i've got bills adding up to over £3000 and thats with out the body and paint work and I bet you would never see another mini with the same colours.

I rebuilt the engine to a high quality standard, it didnt need doing as it only done 28k miles but i did it any way. I replaced the big end barings, thrush washers, piston rings, re-grinded all the galves, replaced the single valve springs with double valve springs, cam followers, duplex timing chain and all gaskets and seals. While i was doing it i replaced the cam with a piper 276 high lift cam with the intensions of putting a race head on, so its all ready to just swap the heads over, it also had a new clutch. It was tuned on the rolling road and had 54.4 BHP / 6047 1min (82mph) 55.4lbft / 4211 1min

Stage one kit

All new spax with adjusta ride

Brand new clutch and brake master cylinders

Fronts converted to disc's which I rebuilt with all knew bearings, pistons, seals, bleed nipples discs and pads

All new rear brake set up with new brake fluid pipes and bearings

I fully repaired and painted the mini myself as its what i do for a living at Fords. The only major bit of rust was on the rear boot hinge pannel which i cut out and replaced with a new pannel. Ive underseald the whole underside.

Ive fitted some recaros recliners which i had to make a set of tilt and slide subframes for so the back is still accessable. I payed for some dimond stiched door cards and a parcelshelf cover. I made a dash out of mdf and covered it in the same material as the rest of the intiorer.

Its wearing a set of 13x7 deep dish mini lights with four good tyres.

It has a slight bit of damage on the front off-side where soe one caught the wheel arch

It dosnt have a MOT or Tax as its been of the road for about 6 months.

If you want me to be honest I dont know how much i want for it so im just going to put it down for offers. If you have any questions please ask. Also i may be able to get it MOT'ed and maybe taxed at the buyers choice.

This is an ideal first car as this was my first car

Im looking for how much ive spent on it receipts wise which is £3000 and take into consideration that there are things that dont have bills like the bodywork and paint job

price guide? offers around??

[JoneseyBoy]

Like i said i am open to offers im never going to get what i want for it so ill see what people are willing to pay. There are receipts there for over £3000 and thats not including the paint job so. i dont want to scare someone away with a price so im purly open to offers. ill take any offers just not silly ones

[mini-luke]

Try and get it MOT'd, it'll be worth loads more that way.

[JoneseyBoy]

like i said if i find someone that wants it then ill get it done but atm there is no point in getting it done if no one wants it

[Remylebleu]

dont want to piss on your parade or anything.....but you need to put a price.

price... its the rules

[JoneseyBoy]

i know the rules sorry if that sounds rude as i dont mean it to be rude but ive been a member since 2008 and i dont feel that some one should comment if they are not intrested in the topic its just nit picking. like everyone knows its hard to put a price on a vehicle you have spent alot of time with and in my eyes it is worth a diffrent price to someone else and im happy to hear what someone else wants to pay and go from there. i hope you can see where im coming from im just trying to sell my pride and joy and pretty much every other post is someone saying about price ect. thank you for your input though.

Ive said how much i spent on it so im sure people can work out an offer from that

[garrett3]

rules are rules, we all have to stick to them mate.
