Stupid amount of watchers, however if there are no reasonable offers by the end of the auction, the car is being stripped to a bare shell, and the lot sold separately, i simply don't have the time to re-list.
 
Metro turbo engine, running with vids
 
The rest of the car is a nut and bolt rebuild, so everything is brand new, so if your interested in any of it, give me a shout after the auction.
 
Located in NUNEATON, 
 
My 1275GT Turbo Fibreglass Mini Sprint - New Build (roof and body chop). 
 
The lot will be avail :D

Sorry but way overpriced.
Who actually wants one when you can get a glass minus for not much.

Where is your market? IE who would pay what you are asking?

Sorry don't see the value.

Because its only a matter of pricing up what its cost in parts, which is way over the asking price of 9k.... A sprint is very rare in GRP, unlike a 20 year old minus thats probably de-laminating, cracking and what not.

 

My ideal market is people who know they are getting something of quality, rather than the usual mini toss which has been bodged by some 'know it all bolt' rounder, in the back of his / her shed.

 

Ive been professionally working in car restoration, with no corners cut... although in all honesty from experience with the mini scene, corners cut and restoration seem to be the norm, which again is why they all probably want something for nothing.

 

Your clearly not interested in any of it, so fall into the other category i have found with the mini scene, of time wasters, or mini people who feel the need to talk to me for 2 hours when collecting something for £20, telling me all about their life, then feeling the need to ask if i will take £5 rather than the £20 already agreed before wasting those hours of my life.

 

It will sell for 9k, its just a case of waiting, however ive not got the time, so it will be stripped... Just looking forward to all the usual fun when trying to sell anything mini related....

Arches are staying on the shell... There is no sump guard, its a foot rest as it has no rear brackets on to mount as a guard, however it could be easily turned into one i guess
