Like the needs trailering note,that could be fun

I think that's the only time I've ever seen a front subframe rust through!

it supposedly has a bid at £500.

I know mk1's are going up in Value but come on could that ever be worth £500

Though as i think about it suppose if some dubious type had a half decent mk1 shell with no identity, they could create a matching numbers mk1

And what with the floor start on a 66 ??

Hi nick, it says push button solenoid, there is no floor start.

So they mean the type of solenoid with the rubber button you can push under the bonnet!

I was confused too!

Can't be floor start, there is no floor..

This time not a mini but o so

Ahh yes it does read like that right enough, apparently they stopped using these soft button soleniods because there were mechanic's here and there getting their legs crushed between cars and walls as they used this button to do the tappets etc, if the car was in gear and facing a garage wall hence the odd broken leg ...ouch.

Not sure if this is gospel..........or myth

Those molds actually look like a bargain.

Mark, I believe you just might have the space to house those moulds soon, say what?

Another ringer waiting to happen. How can this be legal?!

It's not.

Seller selling ID with a box of bits.

Perhaps the buyer would like to come around and steal my mini and then put the ID on it.

Quite clearly an A reg. BOC140A
