A 'whats it worth thread' (Clubman Estate)
Turbo Mini Forums

Evening all,

Due to a few things my clubman estate may well have to go (unfortunately), and i would like some help as to what you think would be a realistic sale price.

Its 1978 on an s with a 1098cc engine, hasn't been mess around with in any major ways, all the mods can be undone, as i've kept all the original parts from the car.

Work done since i've owned it includes:

Exterior-
Half drivers side floor, inner sill, outer sill, doorstep, and repair to rear quater, welded in.
Group 5 euro arches, tweaked to fit a clubby estate.
Rear window channels replaced.

Interior-
Genuine rover spi walnut dash 3+1.
Cooper 500 gear knob,
Cooper steering wheel,
Spi cooper column with new bushes,
Spi cooper stalks,
Half leather recaro seats,

Engine-
Usual service mods, oil, filters, water pump, points, leads, plugs, dizzy cap,
New radiator,
'Stage 1 kit' from somerford minis, with a single box 1.75" maniflow exhaust (sounds great), and maniflow freelow manifold (so a decent kit, with quality parts)

Suspension and Brakes-
Lowered on gen ripspeed hilos,
new lower arm bushes,
rebuilt swivel hubs, with refurbed 8.4" brakes, braided hoses
rears had new shoes and cylinders,

Wheels-
Gen revo 7x13 wheels, with yoko a539 tyres.

Basically all it needs is a paint job (and a turbo ), as there is no rot in this car, just surface rust in some areas.

Don't want to have to sell it, but worst comes to worst it will have to go, but if it wouldnt make decent enough money, id probably find some way of keeping it.

So any help valuing would greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Oli.

there is one on e-bay at the moment needing resto for £1500

Have you registered on the clubman estate register? They are probably your best bet as they are target audiance.

Cheers Rob, thats high for a resto.

I havent Andy, i browse on there website from time to time, but dont find it that great.

O/T but how does it drive on the 13x7's i cant decide between 13x7 and 13x6's for my estate.

If im honest, from going from 10x5 to 13x7 i didnt notice anything drastic.

The steering very low speeds is heavier, but it doesnt bother me, and also on some poor road surfaces, the car tends to sometimes go where it wants, as it tramlines, but once again, it doesnt worry me.

But they really arent as bad as alot of people claim. Im happy with them.
