Thinking of selling the mk1 cooper.
It’s a bit of a project as the interior needs finishing but everything that’s done so far is either newly done or refurbished.
All new brakes/ suspension. Powder coated etc.
Engine freshly rebuilt with original d top pistons by mccs (£3000 cost).
Wheels and tyres brand new,
New wiring loom .
Comes with less leston wheel.
Benelite grill,
John aley roll bar.
Starts and drives but needs a tune up and final wheel alignment doing.
I have the original front seats and some trim plus half of the rear seat( no carpets).
Was building it as a cafe racer style project with my son but he doesn’t seam that interested.
This is not the original shell, it’s a 1960 shell bought from a forum member on here. It’s in fantastic condition, nearly all original apart from some floor sections and the desirable light weight version.
It’s cost well over 20k so far but as with all projects i don’t expect to get my money back.
I’m looking for offers around the 20k mark .
Reason for sale is I’m just going to keep the one mini as I have a 970 that’s in the middle of getting rebuilt.
Message me for any details

Forum rules
For Sale Section Rules
PLEASE NOTE! Postings in this section are deleted automatically after they have not been looked at for 30 days.
1) This section is for advertising items that you have for sale. Not for the discussion of listed items. If you wish to debate the pro's & Con's of any item listed, please start a new topic in the appropriate section.
2) Please DO NOT post links to your ebay auctions. This section is NOT for the advertisement of your ebay auctions.
3) If you have a number of items to sell, post them in a single ad marked "Multiple Parts" or similar. DO NOT post many individual advertisements as this forces everyone else's listings down the page.
4) It is expected that any items advertised on the forum are described fairly & honestly. It is the duty of the seller to ensure that this is the case.
5) Items listed for sale should WHEREVER POSSIBLE* be offered with a purchase price, not asking for bids from members. If you wish to auction your item to the highest bidder I would suggest you use ebay & pay the associated fees.
6) This section is offered as a free service to enthusiasts. Any deals made are between the buyer & seller only. The MK1 forum takes no part in any transaction & the appearance of any item in this section is not a recommendation. I strongly suggest that both buyers & sellers are happy to proceed with a deal before any money or goods change hands.
7) It expected that people posting items for sale are "Active Members of this community". Any Adverts placed by members with a post count lower than 5 will be deleted.
8) The advertising of or soliciting for VIN tags, log books or any other vehicle identification documentation without it's associated vehicle is expressly forbidden. Any member breaking this rule will have his membership terminated with immediate effect.
9) If a moderator considers any postings in this section to violate either the spirit or word of these simple requests the MK1 Forum reserves the right to delete any posts without prior warning or explanation.
10) The posting of items for sale on the MK1 forum constitutes explicit acceptance of these simple rules.
11) Members posting items for sale MUST include a rough location in their profile.
It would be much appreciated if sellers could leave the sale price on adverts after the item has been sold. This acts as a good measure of current value for other sellers.
* In some cases it may not be possible for the seller to list items with a sale price. In this case, listings will be reviewed on a case by case basis by a moderator. The moderators decision will be final.

Large discount for a forum member before I try Facebook or eBay? Sensible offers always considered

What you have done so far is simply gorgeous.
If only you could wait a year!
