We owned and ran this car for several years. Then, some years ago (2017), I decided to dismantle it completely with a view to restoring.

 

Unfortunately the latter never happened, and it has been stored in boxes ever since.

 

The body is probably too far gone but everything else is there. Plus extra seats, a steering wheel, instrument pod and other bits and pieces.

 

I’m not now ever going to do anything with it, so I just wondered if there was anyone out there who might want to take it on.

 

I don’t want anything for it but anyone interested would have to collect (from Nottingham).

It’s very generous of you, but it will be a lot of work for someone, so you’ll need to find someone who genuinely wants it and had the cash to do the work.

Working out whether or not they are a genuine mini lover or a chancer trying to cash in on your good will and sell on will be hard to distinguish. So if you need rid ASAP, I suggest sticking it on eBay starting bid of £1, and let nature take its course.

Yeah, the reason I put it up here was to see if there was anyone with genuine interest....possibly bit of a long shot but you never know.  Anyway,eBay is not a bad suggestion, I'm on hoiday next week so might do that when I get back. We have moved house with it once in bits and might be moving again, so am keen to get rid.
