What\'s my car worth?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hey chaps.

Might be doing the dreaded thing soon and putting my Mini up for sale as I could do with the money.

Any idea what it'd be worth?

It's tax free car, with 10 months MOT and 10 months tax.

The car has some signs of rust on the front wing, has bad paint on the passenger wing, and could do with a small bit of welding for the next MOT - although it isn't rotten. The whole car is a bit tatty, but, a) it's a mini, b) who cares?
The car could do with the tracking being done, as I've not done it since the steering rack was refurbed, but it can be driven away :)

The engine spec:

1293cc
Metro turbo pistons (slight dish added, 14cc if i remember correctly)
Morspeed head (big valves I think, plus chambered, I have the receipt and will check)
duplex timing wassnames
Jon-Flan'd exh manifold and elbow (slightly ground back to help flow).
2wd cosworth intercooler with modified end-caps.
T3 turbo
min-its exhaust
Was rolling roaded at Baldwins on 12psi at 143bhp.

Gearbox:
Standard drops
Standard gearbox (low mileage)

Car spec:
70's shell (I think)
Cheapo rollcage
Cobra monaco buckets
3 point harnesses
tired looking carbon/fibreglass bonnet
Removed boot floor with alloy rivited in place
perspex windows
cut-away door insides
removed rear seat and bins
webber + turbo bulkhead boxes
in-car bleed valve
boost gauge (cheapo)
oil press guage (cheapo)
10" weller wheels with fantastic tyres

So, any thought on value, and/or any interest?

You can't sell it, you've just finished it!

Sell anything else, not the mini!

Here's some ideas for things to sell;

Wife/girlfriend, dog, cat, wifes underwear on eBay, photos of your hot neighbours wife, her underwear, the iron, steal some antiques and sell them, grow drugs and sell them, import Chinese children and sell them. See plenty of money making ideas!

3k ish I guess, but to be honest if you want rid then stick it on eBay and see how it goes.

your miss it when its gone

I'm not going to tell you so you can't sell it.

If you do sell it I'll start calling you Iain.

At least come to avon in it once.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I'll give you a nice crisp tenner to keep it

Blah blah blah (thanks chaps).

We shall see. I don't want to sell it - I actually like it now it's on the road.

Bring it to Avon Alex!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

No, because it's an F1 weekend and avon is too hot, too boring, and not enough actual drag-strip-running!

Boo!

BTW It's Mini only ALL Sunday apart from little drag bikes. No normal RWYB

A Morspeed receipt, thats gotta be worth something on its own, never seen one of those before!
