Hi All

This is my first post on here I'm afraid. I'm selling my great-aunts Mini on her behalf and I'm not really an expert on Mini's - their value/what people like etc.

Her Mini is a 1991 J reg, silver Rover Mini City. It has only done 22K (literally just over this) and has a full service history. The MOT expires in August. It is in it's original condition (except a minor dent on the drivers side frond side panel) and has only had 'bull bars' added which are now a bit rusty (not too bad though). I had a CD player put in recently to replace the original casette player. Oh, and she had seat covers on so the seats are basically in their original condition. It hasn't been converted to unleaded but runs fine with lead supplement.

I have all of the documents for the car.

I know that's all a bit vague, but any ideas on pricing would be gratefully received!

Cheers,

Max

the car should be unleaded and come with a cat

leaded petrol, LRP or a additive aren't going to do the cat any good

some pictuers might help with value but if its that clean £1500-£2000

[Jammy]

Is it a 998 or 1275?!

I'd say £1500-2000 for a 998, upto £2000-2500 for 1275?!

Cool...thanks for the quick replies!

It's on eBay at the moment (I just listed it yesterday) but after what you have said, I might take it off. It's listing no. 270103973446 if you want to see pictures of it.

Would you have any better suggestions of where to list it for sale?

Thanks.

Oh, it's a 998 engine...!

£2000 easy I reckon.. Only done 22k! .. Looks mint from the pictures and the interior looks very very tidy .. Only minus point is that it isn't unleaded..

Looking on the ebay link is there a dent in the front wind?

[Max Knight]

Yeah, there is that small dent - I think that's why my aunt had the bars put on - her parking wasn't quite 100% spot on each time!

He said there was.

If I was him, I'd take more pictures & add them to the listing, showing back seats, door cards, boot, under bonnet everywhere in fact. If it's genuine & I've no reason to doubt it isn't this is almost collectable & should fetch good money.

Alan...

[Max Knight]

Thanks for the advice Alan. It is completely genuine - I'm not going to say the car is in perfect condition, but it really is in very good condition! I'll see if it's too late to add anything to the listing on eBay.

If it's a 1991 Mini then it will be unleaded. The change over was in 1989.

Might also consider asking Mods to move to For Sale section or eBay section

[Max Knight]

Hi All

Not sure how I get this moved to the For Sale or eBay sectioon, but for anyone who is interested, my mini is finishing on eBay tomorrow and it's only up to £600 on there!

From the advice you guys gave, I've added more pictures showing the chairs, engine etc.

Thanks again,

Max

Very true cats dont get on with petrol that well. Were the cats optional extras in the Mini catalogue?

Only joking I understand really!

[THE ANORAK]

OK, so whats going to happen to this unleaded mini if they keep running it with additive
