mini cooper not bmw one
« on: 04 February 2012, 15:41 »
Hi thought I would ask on here as been a member for longer than I care to remember and always found the replies fair

A mate has asked me to sell his car its a 1994/1993  L reg mini 1275 cooper in british racing green, white roof, chrome grill bumpers etc. straight on the body, mileage is around 100K some history. nice set of minilites with yokos,  nice half leather interior, straight through exhaust and think it is lowered as shocks are yellow and springs are red. Mechanically last time it was on the road it was fine. He took it off the road about 3 years ago to restore the body work as usual rust problems but like so many projects it has not been touched since. I found it for him 4 years ago with mot and tax and think we got it for a song at £750. Whats it worth now?

Nice car but to get it like that it will need replacement panels, all other restore items bushes, brakes etc then Respray that lot will cost you 3k at least  :smiley:

He did spend quite a bit on it but because he was doing all the work himself it did cut down the labour costs,

There are 2 more minis in there now going through a full restoration

Love your Mini rich :)

Problem with old Minis is that its hard to put a price on them, could get 1500 for it, could get 500. Without pictures its hard to tell, I got mine for a steal at £900 and its super limited :)
