Love the comment that the gearbox has been changed for the quick shift !

Still, doesn't look a bad little mini but never worth 8 grand.

[Archived2]

Looks rough! Lots of rust and obvious filler repairs.
Bit of a dog but maybe 2500 with the wind behind it.

8k? Someone's a greedy lil swine lol

If you had 8K to spend there is so much better for the money

[racingbob]

did you see the bottom of the door and around the headlights

 

what about the engine bay i cracked up when i saw that

[slidehammer]

Look a bit of a tart up job to me, lets hope no one gets caught by it.

[Scousemouse]

All that don't mean a thing,MOT failures/rust and more rust......

we'll GLOSS over all the important things,because it's "WHITE"??  ? sorry not white but "LAMBO WHITE"???  

sort of ITALIAN EMULSION to be precise  

                                            

Nah I'll pass on this one me thinks

[Cooperman]

It's 'fulla filla' - everywhere.

 

Probably worth around £2000 to £2500. The bodywork will cost, maybe, £3000 to get right or possibly more.

Quote from listing

 

"The purchaser of this car shouldn’t need to do anything for a good few years to this car now and with the right care and attention can be a part of your life for many years to come."

 

Makes my car look brilliant (which it certainly isn't), Even my inexperienced eye can see how rough the body & engine bay are, lets hope nobody gets caught out & thinks its a perfect car.

[wile e coyote]

Hmm - not a bad car - but should have had obvious crusty issues fixed before cheapo respray - more money spent on blingy bits than mechanicals & body.....never worth 8K!..... well not for a few years anyway!.... I think seller is asking what it cost rather than what it's worth....

[neal]

If they do sell it for that money the buyer is snow blind..........I am !

 

If they get anywhere near £4000 then I think we'll be quids in with our cars.

 

I bet the owner is practicing their sales pitch before applying to go on 'The apprentice'

[JCP]

No, just no. £8k??!! He's dreaming isn't he?
