For sale is my Rover Mini Paul Smith Limited Edition 

The car is probably the lowest mileage Paul Smith mini for sale currently at just over 23,000 miles 

A folder full of History including a letter from the original owner and the postcard she received through the post that made her buy the car 
MOT History back to 2006 
MOT done last week with only 2 small advisories 

Stored in garage for last 4 years 
All servicing carried out by Mini Specialists 
1000 miles since last service
Recent work on the floors and sills and fully under sealed 

It has the plaque in the glovebox which states "An Edition of 1800" however I understand only 300 UK cars were ever made and a quick check on HowManyLeft shows that at Q1 2017 there were 117 licenced and 113 registered as SORN so 1 of 230 currently remaining in the UK

The mini does need some work and I have therefore priced the car accordingly. Overall this is a nice little car but could be something really special with not too much work. I am available for viewings evening and at weekends. 

Roof has some dents that will need removing 
Bubbling below headlights, A-Pillars and a tiny amount under the windscreen 
Synchro between 2nd gear and 1st needs replacing - A crunch can be heard if gear changing from 2nd to first quickly, however if a gear change is done slowly, no crunch can be heard. This issue doesn't really bother me and the can can be used completely fine with it but can be fixed quite easily if time allows 
 
The car is best appreciated when viewed so please come and see it if you can
 
Any questions please give me a ring

I like the idea taking the engine and box out, splitting the box off and rebuilding it to cure the 2nd gear issue is an easy fix (especially for the none technical members); I'm surprised you haven't done it.  :D

 

As per the forum rules you need to include a price.

I like it to  :D  No in all seriousness its not for a novice, but we have some great members on here that deal with gearbox's and I've received some quotes which aren't too bad. I suppose it comes down to what that buyer wants as i'm quite happy to drive it how it is
