They’re not a matching pair either. Narrower panels on one than the other.

It's at least £8000 overpriced, and is finished so badly. Carpets, none, kick plates, none, arch trim, none, tacky bonnet plate, remove. It could look a great car, but need a good deal of time and a bit of money spending on it to get it there.

Great reg if you are a golfer, (whoops someone might buy it now and nick the plate off it).

Not to mention the front cage with no padding, alongside standard seats and belts. Not a good combination.

It has magnesium D1s, now that is a rare thing, so much so it's almost hard to believe :lol:

meh...... magnesium/aluminium, all the same thing really

"rarer than a Cooper"....... there are plenty of cars more rare than a Cooper, doesn't mean they are worth a lot or are more desirable, why don't they just give a straight forward pitch rather than all of the BS ?, it's an old Mini with some go faster bits bolted on, not exactly uncommon.

Thats been knocking around for a while now, was nearer £30k at one point, last I saw it was on an ebay auction, obviously didn’t hit reserve......Over valuing seems to some how damage the cars reputation, then it gets difficult to shift full stop.....

I agree, then it probably would be rarer than a Cooper :)

The point is, this kind of Mini's are almost never offered in the Netherlands, that's why I do like it the way it is. I would never pay the price the vendor is asking but it's a nice run about

I would agree, at around £10k it's a prospect, not at £18k, irrespective of what it cost to build or what "insurance" valuation it has had.

Can someone tell me with this gearbox case, is it actually a real one? There is something odd about the 9 and 0 in the casting number vs. other castings I’ve seen.
