Unfortionately, due to lack of time, money, effort and knowledge the mini is now for sale. I really wish I could complete this project as it will make a lovely little car!

Please see my project thread for further details. It really is a solid car with very little cosmetic rust. Requires new drivers side A panel and there is a tiny hole where the front bumper mounts and a small bit of rust on the rear bumper lip.

When I bought it, it was driven onto the tow truck (no tax or mot) and driven round the block a few times (naughty!) and it drove very well.

All bits from the strip down are labelled up in bags inside of boxes and everything required to build her back up would be included barring upper and lower dash rail covers and door seals.

Requires new drivers side A panel and there is a tiny hole where the front bumper mounts and a small bit of rust on the rear bumper lip.

I am based in Middlesbrough.

Looking for £700. Don't be scared to make an offer, I can only refuse!


Regards,

Marc.

I seriously wish I could. Perhaps writing a letter to the other half may help... Aha

Fantastic mate. Honestly, It is in really good condition. I believe it has been restored before and tbf, looks like they have done a good job.

Its all sealed underneath, sills look good, carpets and sound deadening are up inside and there isnt a spot of rust to be seen. Boot floor is excellent as are all the subframe mounts etc.

All of the interior is striped, All panels removed, all lights are out and all trims have been removed. Also the fuel tank is out. I haven't touched the engine bay.

I have done a great job of labelling everything and I have got tons of photos that I took during disassembly with all the labels I have attatched shown on them. Should be like a dot to dot really haha.

Just to clarify, by 'all panels removed', I mean doors, boot and bonnet. Also, all of the glass is out.

Would this go on a transporter with all the bits etc?
I may be tempted at 600 with all the bits and those two haynes manuals thrown in =)
Cheers,
Jay
