Mk1 Cooper value?

Post by j.c. »

This is my first post on here, I hope that's okay?
Anyway I am looking for a rough idea of the value of this Mini that I will be advertising for sale soon.
It was my Dad's and for about the last ten years it has only been used for a few Hillclimbs a year.


Details,

1967 Morris Mini Cooper (genuine Mk1 Cooper)
998cc
MOT has run out, but I would get it renewed before any sale
Taxed (free)
Blue with white roof
Steel wheels (5 off) fitted with Falken road tyres
Aftermarket bottom arms and tie bars for neg camber
Spax front shocks
Braided brake hoses
Recent new exhaust and manifold
Fire extinguisher
No rot, bodywork generally good but there are some small dents etc
Worst part is the bonnet/scuttle which has poor repair (see last picture)


Currently fitted with some non standard parts,
Mildly tuned 998cc engine
Single SU carb
Rear cage
Cobra seat
Safety Devices Harness

But would come with the following original parts,
998cc engine block (complete with gearbox,etc)
Twin SU carbs
Gear linkage
Driveshafts
Drivers seat
Steering wheel
Various parts of interior trim (tatty, not complete)

It also would come with various other parts/spares including,
4 alloy wheels fitted with Yokohama AO32 tyres
Good bonnet
New chrome bumper


Thanks in advance.

Agreed as above.

Is the original driver's seat with the car - would be nice to have a full compliment of the grey / brocade trim!

Mine is D and pretty much identical.

nice car.

I'd sell it as it is and expect strong money. It's better than any trailer queen IMO.

Thanks for the replies.
I put the same post on a few forums and I've got similar valuations.
Ill get the MOT sorted and then advertise it for sale (already had some interest), Im not in a hurry to sell it so Ill put it up towards the top end of the values and see if I get much interest.

P.S.
The original drivers seat would come with the car.

I received a couple of private messages inquiring about the car and was going to reply to them but I dont seem to be able to send messages, newbie rule perhaps?
I think my previous post pretty much replies to them anyway.

Finally got this sorted, so it now has a fresh MOT and is for sale (probably the wrong time of year to try and sell it but you never know someone might want to buy themselves a Xmas present).

Advert in the For Sale section
