Ha, ha, Good luck! That is fricken hideous.

Come on FFS, what do you lot want for £90k? Steeped in provenance, easy on the eye especially with those reversing lights where the headlamps should go I can't tell if it started life as a Mayfair or the less desirable City with all that shiz glued to it

Just check out the cracks on the sidewalls of those Pirellis. And that hand crafted twin centre box exhaust hanger.
But it's OK, its having an overhaul at JD Woodham Mortimer Five Names Classic ....
I'll take the front seats if they decide to break it

I wonder at what point the boss (if there is one?) at JD Reeves & Mortimer Classics will turn round and wonder why they’re not managing to sell a single one of those Minis. Not that that they’re all bad cars at all but absolutely soaked in bullshit descriptions and hugely overpriced. Clearly billionaires aren’t THAT stupid!

"Not seen for 30 years"

At least we have that to be thankful for

However good to see it still exists as an example of its era in the 'broad church' of expensive coach built Minis....from the reg number on all the photos I have ever seen of the Tickford Mini since 1984 the ad does also confirm it was the only one ever built or sold.

Just a nice period picture:-

If you really really liked it, maybe 15k

Could we club together and do a crowd funding exercise? Maybe buy it and put it away for another 30 years??

I honestly cannot see any appeal in that 'brick on end' (apart from the seats which are very nice)

Christ, even I'm not that kinky when it comes to 'coachbuilt' stuff

That guy from the chop shop turned out much better stuff (can't call them cars)
