the mini is 150 miles from me but not sure what to make of it???

how much would you say its worth before i offer and drives all that way

 

i know its a full resto

 

i asked the normal questions the reply

 

Roof gutters are fine, boot floor intact and 2 spare wheels, main floor perforated.
some wheels jammed when pulled out of barns, dont know if sortable easily .
Have all documents from day 1 if that matters.

I have to say it looks pretty good considering. 

[simplyminis]

been in a barn for 20 years

[sonikk4]

It looks complete so as long as there is paperwork of some form or another then its worth a punt.

 

I would offer £500 and see what happens.

[wolfie]

I would say its value is £750 to 1k depending on what the floors are like

[simplyminis]

would it be hydraulastic  

[rhys-89]

This should be dry suspension my 1966 is hydrolastic and I'm sure they only made hydrolastic from late 1963 to 1967 the end of the mk1

[Tamworthbay]

Looks dry, Hydrolastic cars that have sat for a long time tend to have the wheels up in the arches.

I agree with sonikk, offer £500 and see what he says. Don't buy it for any more than 900-1000 though. It's not worth any more.

[minimadles]

it could be worth a bit more than whats been said depending what the reg plate is and yes it should be dry on a 1961

[simplyminis]

Well I think I've bought it! Waiting in a date to collect
Reg is worth around £1800 on regtransfers

Ill update more when it's collected

[bpirie1000]

Reg transfers will say anything to sell a plate..
Only worth what your prepared to pay.. Remember restoration costs could top triple that price...

[simplyminis]

I've sold 4 plates with them with no hassle or problems

Should it have a magic wand gear stick?
