Hi all, hope you may be able to guide me in the right direction, as without much to compare with im stuck on putting up a for sale advert on here and the lovely old ebay.

 

I know what the car has cost me so far, however im unsure what its worth in its current state.

 

This year i bought the very last of the ABS motorsport mini sprint GRP shells. I believe they were made to 1980s spec with original mouldings, and ready to go directly onto the road just by swapping the parts over from a donor mini.

 

However for safety i have had a custom MSA spec full welded rollcage installed, which ties in 4 front subframe mounts, and 4 rear (the originals), along with door / dash bars and a roof bar... So now the car is a lot safer to use on the road / track (tubing 38.1mm 2.6mm 38% elongation)

 

The car comes with everything from the donor vehicle, and only requires an engine.

 

The donor shell has 12 months MOT, 12 months classic tax (free), plates and vin. The V5 is in my name to my address.

 

There is a receipt for both car and shell if IVA was the route you was going with the car, however as known (and i don't condone) there are loop holes with regards to that.

 

Ive been advised from these original 1 piece moulds, there are only 4 of these cars ever made prior to the moulds going missing.

 

Il upload a few pics, i can do a breakdown of my costs, however ideally looking for a blind valuation from someone as to know how much realistically im going to loose. 

 

 

Cheers

Also to add, the gelcoat can be sanded and polished, or it can be painted depending on preference (so anyone expecting an expensive of a spray job, can get away without the need for one)

 

Bolted a subframe up today, just to give an idea (its literally just a bolt together project now with no rust to worry about haha)

 

The engines not included (or installed properly lol), but pretty much everything else from the donor is
