As per the title. Just after a rough valuation as is and then with Tax and MOT. I have a rough idea but I need confirmation.

I may be selling one of the minis so I can concentrate on the other.

I bought it off a friend of mine in March, he owned it for 2 years.

88,000 miles, lots of service history and receipts in a huge folder.

No Tax or MOT although I am hopefully getting it in for test and then tax it early next week, work dependant.

It's last MOT it did pass with some advisories.

Rust in various places as shown in the pics.

4x Brand new Yoko A539 tyres which have seen about 800metres of tarmac en route to my garage where she has remained since Mar 12.

Fitted new WIPAC headlights.

PICS.

This is before I fitted the headlights.



It now has standard rear lights.

With an MOT, perhaps £1200, without maybe £6-800. It's rusty, but by no means past it. Any chance of some pictures of what's under the carpet?

[Frank the Tank]

I will bimble round and get some today. I knew I had forgotten to photograph something.

From what I recall they were solid.

To give you some idea of what they actually sell for. Green is sold, red unsold.

[Frank the Tank]

Yeah I have spent a lot of time on eBay looking for all sorts, always having a wee check on prices of minis too. It's hard to put a figure on minis as it's what people will pay at the end of the day.

I know there is work to be done on this but I think it is taking my attention away from my City now.

There's a very good chance that once I MOT it I'll not want to get rid but I'm hoping that my other one will scratch that itch.

Got my eye on some BMW 330d so that might twist my arm again.

Would swap you for a Citroen berlingo van. Mot'd and taxed for another 7 months+.
That little mini looks like it'd benifit from a full strip and rebuild.

[Frank the Tank]

No thanks on the van front.

She's in for an MOT test tomorrow, it's just a flesh wound.

Last MOT was only advisories for a few minor things and she's had a few small cosmetic/mechanical repairs since the pics.

My intention is (was and hopefully still is) to get it road legal and then restore as I go. Engine runs very well, quite good on the interior front just a bit shabby externally.

As you can see I am pretty much talking myself into keeping it, no doubt once I am whizzing around in it she'll be kept.

I am on the look out for a 330d or perhaps get back into a Scooby again. We'll see.

[mattdc2r]

Scooby's are quick but I got bored with mine very quickly. Unless on gravel or snow/ice and then they're so much fun.

[Frank the Tank]

I had mine for just shy of 4 years. Only reason I got rid was the commute from Bulford/Blandford to Plymouth was killing me.

I loved it. The noise and the raw power. Think that's the reason I need a bike.

[mattdc2r]

I've had 2. A turbo 2000 and a v4 STI. Best bit was the blitz nur spec r exhaust. Driving slowly it could set off car alarms and driven progressively it sounded like a TVR Sag at high revs. If I were tO get one now, it would be as an investment. Seen the price of Integrale evos and sierra cossies these days? Even bloody Nova Gsi's and SR's sell for silly money now.

[Frank the Tank]

I had a Dark Blue Mica UK Turbo2000.

I have been looking at P1s. I still think they look great.
