I actually think that that looks quite a pretty little thing from some angles, particually the rear

it must have been on ebay about a hundred times though, so that suggests that actually, its terrible

Very Triumph Herald.

it would have looked miles better if it had a elf front on it, and I'm sure it would have really confused people as a result

This is just insane. Or is it?

Here's an idea. I buy this for £3k, get "my mate" to MOT it, put the plates on a mates mini for my agreed value. Car gets broken into and stolen. Damn!

Insurance payout. £20K?

It'll be worth ten times that when it wins the Turner Prize

Take your point but what intrigues me here is what is the real difference between this 'project' and a Cooper re-shelled in the 1960's or 70's (and there are plenty of them) Only that attitudes have changed and back then the donor shell would at lease be sound to start with I guess?

It's just daft. I thought the mini market had topped out, but it appears to be still going. Utterly utterly crazy.

Oddly enough, I haven't seen an ASBO type car for sale for a long time. (Raced up Mk1). I guess they are all being put back to factory coopers with reg doc jobs.

There's some pretty poor detailing for a car of that price, (estimate), and what's with the drivers door chrome, looks like it's hanging off in the first picture

Hardly "Come and Buy Me" estimates. That's just going to put bidders off as the reserves will be high too.

You've been saying that since forever! £1700 doesn't seem expensive for the remains of a '65 Cooper + a Mk1 850 basket case. The white Mk1 would probably fetch that on it's own nowadays.

Looks a bit too modded for that money, hence why it's been for sale for quite a while. As I suspect this car will be...

It'd have to be ALOT better than that for top of the shop money but this dealer always asks silly money and rarely ever seems to sell a car!
