We have owned the mini since 2005 buying it as a daily driver. It then went in the garage for around 4 years and had new wings, a panels, front panel scuttle repairs, sills, rear valance and boot floor and one of the food wells was also done. it is showing some signs of wear now, but really would be a fantastic little car given a couple of weekends worth of work. This is a reluctant sale, and I know exactly how much the car will break for given the wheels, tyres seats etc. However I would much prefer the car to go to someone who will have the time to get it back to the standard it should be, and drive it, as it should be.

There is probably more and more on the car that I have forgotten so ill add as and when I remember.
Really would be a fantastic car for someone with a couple of weekends spare to get it back on the road. But due to moving house and not having space or time its a reluctant sale.
There are, as with every car, some bad points
Some of the paint is showing signs of rust, mainly on the doors (may require a little welding where the frame meets the skin)and around the rear screen.
Paint could do with flatting back and having a good polish
We could never get the timing sorted, engine turns and runs but just never got it running sweet.
Will probably require a new battery as we have been jumping it off to get started, not been start for a month or so now though.
some welding splatter to drivers side of windscreen.
Last time we had it started there seemed to be a problem with the clutch, or gearbox, just wouldnt engage, not sure if something has seized as the car has been stood for about a year now.
I have a box of spares to go with this car, all my mini stuff will go with the sale including some cool old workshop manuals and binders.
Pictures
The mini is located in York and can be viewed by appointment
The car has NO MOT OR TAX, it is currently SORN and as a result will need to be trailered away
I am looking for £1500, no offers.
You can reach me on 07809478728 if you need any more info or I can send you more pictures of particulars you would like to see.
Many thanks for taking the time to read the ad, hopefully there will be some interest, its way too good to break.
Ollie.
