Hey

I'm going to have to sell my beautiful 1991 Mini Racg Flame checkmate,

reason for selling is need bit more power and bit more reliable car to drive to work everyday
I'm super sad because i love this car but my girlfriend said maybe it's time for a better car .

​if you could give me a rough estimate of how much i could get.. would be great...

998
M.O.T- 11months
TAX - 11 months
78k miles
had new clutch put in not long ago, new Coil, new HT leads, new spark plugs, new brakes, extended seat brackets, new passenger side floor welded in new sills.. bottom has been wax oiled... car has no rust..

the blurred photo effect will sell it

.... and never underestimate the selling potential of "soft focus"...... it even had me reaching for my wallet for a moment there!!

yeah ..

Well i'm not after alot for it.. i just want what i've paid basically .. I brought car for £900 spent £135 on tax and the M.O.T cost me £260.. and it comes with weller wheels too with 5mm tread .. so would be maybe happy to get £1500 for it I think.. but i think you guys will say it's no were near worth that much ..

Actually with the long MOT on it, I reckon you could probably get around the £1,500 mark quite easily, if you were to put the original bonnet back on (I assume that's a fibre glass item) and make up some brackets and put the bumpers back on too!!
