I have a 1971 MK3 (genuine) project that I need to pass on to her next owner.

I'm going to get decent pictures soon. But the shell includes:

1971 shell
Subframes,
bottom arms
Top arms
Rack
New inner wing panels (Heritage)
New radiator shroud panel
New rear floor pan repair sections
New outer sills
New sill jacking point repair panels (heritage)
New seat crossmember
Rear subframe
Radius arms
Brakes (superminifins, Goodridge hoses, decent shoes)
Remote gear lever extension/housing
1275GT rear seat
Rear screen (new rubber)
Side screens (opening with chrome surrounds)
New headlining kit
Headlining bars
Fuel tank
Electric fuel pump
Filter king fuel regulator
MG Metro inlet
Loads of other sundey new parts to throw in too. You could make good money on this as a project but it is a BIG project.


I don't know what to ask for this car. It needs welding, but includes loads of new panels and parts. The reason I took it off the road was to convert it back from Vauxhall engined to a series but I just need it gone now. It's a solid mini and the reason I was replacing all of the panels was to remove anything that wasn't original, rather than to remove rust. It's had years and worth of repairs and modifications and I wanted it standard and immaculate.

I know it's strong money but I'm going to put £1000 as a starting price and add that I'm very open to offers. It's located in North Shropshire and I can probably make it into a rolling shell to make it easier to transport. I'd keep it if I had the room but I have to get rid by December as I'm losing my unit/workshop.

Oh...

It's got a loom, lights, Wipac H4 conversion headlights. A load of new engine parts. Like the ATP head stud kit, new alternator bracket, pressed steel rockers, new clutch slave with braided Goodridge hose, new crank damper, radiator, heater matrix/blower.

Hi Matt Any chance you could put up some pics?

[The Matt]

I will do yes. I don't have any at the moment, but I'll get some for you. The shell is halfway through me doing the bodywork so it's not pretty I'm afraid!

[David128]

Is the engine / gearbox and interior with it?

[The Matt]

There's no engine nor gearbox and just the rear seat from the 1275GT. It just includes the parts listed above. The panels alone have cost around half of the £1000.

[The Matt]

Just quickly totted up the cost of the new panels... £555 by my reckoning.

If someone wants just the shell and logbook and I sell the spare parts separately I'll consider it. But they'll just need to buy the panels that I'm including anyway

[alexcrosse]

can i buy just the logbook off you?

[The Matt]

can i buy just the logbook off you?

Yes. It comes with a free shell M9

[The Matt]

Jokes aside, I really would rather sell this as a package to an enthusiast on here. I know there's more money in breaking it, but I want to see someone finish it.

A picture would be good
