Nice little item..

That seller bought quite a bit of stuff off me when I had my clear out. He has a right old collection, but it always goes for TOP DOLLAR!

The Speedwell plastic display was once mine.
I got it from the same source as the Speedwell slides.
Sometimes I am very tempted to put the slides on ebay

Andreas, If you do ever think about selling the slides, please contact me first. I think it would be great if I could keep them with the car.

I thought so too . I really fancied that. It must have sold immediately 'cos I telephoned him within hours of the ad appearing and it was sold already Right car, right price I suppose. I'm waiting to see it re-appear on some dealer's website at half as much again.....

Like most Mk1 Minis sold on the open market nowadays that one's back on the 'dealer go round' :

Nice reg number, it will be inteesting to see what it makes.

Well spotted Pete! The trouble is with such cars that once you've added a dealers profit and an auction commission and a buyers premium etc etc a reasonably priced car soon becomes an expensive one doesn't it. It will indeed be interesting to see what it sells for this time - and who buys it next of course!

It does look good though doesn't it?

If you buy this, scan it for the mk1 website !

Actually that's great, I've just double the value of my Mutant !



That is a bizarre result ??

Yes, that is very silly.

To put it in perspective, I bought my freshly restored cooper bits into super deluxe (swapped everything but the V5) like it had just left the factory in 03 for £1500.

Quite recently (a few years ago). I picked up a 1430 engine with 177 rods, full race cam, sleeved stage 100 head, weber 48, full SC everything, salisbury LSD, remote box, special dizzy, etc, etc, etc. for well under £1k. Remember Vizards advice about buying a used engine?

It has gone off the scale. It is totally silly. £1000+ for a speedometer is far too much. SELL SELL SELL!!!!

Unfortunately that would appear to be the case, everything else looks pretty well done as well, shame

as we have said before on here, its a brave man who spends his days scurrying around the uk buying minis and trying to earn a living from it..

if I tried to this this I would be buying endless rotten hounds with engine problems (I do that anyway, but im not trying to earn a living from it!! )

Just sold my 1071 FJ block for £490 and thought I'd done well there!

Early shell:

Looks a sound shell. Bit odd to do all that work but not disguise the much later front panel - and then paint it a colour that was never used on Minis of that age.

Not on ebay, but note 'no tyre kickers' .....1969 g reg austin mini 1000 restoration project:-

The vehicle details for XUK 26G are:
Date of Liability 01 07 1989
Date of First Registration 01 09 1968

No I wouldn't kick the tyres either in case the whole things keels over !
