Breaking car or sell complete if someone wants to fix it?!

 

Classic Mini - Michael Jackson themed car! Tax and MOT (classic mini) 1.3 engine

Rover Rio Mini 1993 (Limited edition)

MICHAEL JACKSON THEMED CAR!!  - Tax end July 2013 & MOT July 2013

Are you a MASSIVE MJ fan like myself? If the answer is yes then this is the PERFECT car for you!! 

 

Reason for sale:

I am travelling the world in September so I do not have the time or money to fix everything so I need to let her go – plus I don’t have anywhere to keep her while I am gone for a year!

 

I have cracked the floor underneath the pedals by avoiding a pile up in front of me (broke so hard it cracked the floor – I was told by insurance it was general wear and tear but they would say that to avoid helping me out!). Also having problems with keeping the car running (only happened recently). Either a problem with the alternator or something to do with the alternator light not connecting; Basically if you bump or jump her she starts but loves conking out in the best of places – at the front of temporary lights, every traffic light or when you really want to get somewhere (Ace Cafe!)

 

This car gets you a huge amount of attention, loads of smiles and occasionally people stop me and ask to take pictures!! If someone wanted to keep it as MJ then that would be amazing but I know I am a rare fanatic!

 

Would love if someone wanted to fix the car up and get her back on the road but otherwise I will be breaking the car so let me know what you’re after
