My Estate
Turbo Mini Forums

The time has come, the estate is for sale :( I really wish I had space to keep it, but new project has to live in the garage so I can start work.

I have owned this car for around 7 years, it has gone through various stages of modifications, and I believe is now one of the finest examples in the country.

1981 Clubman Estate
12 months MOT and TAX

Ex Retro Cars Magazine Feature car
Full strip down rebuild and respray in 2008
Dry stored and dry weather use only since.

Previously fitted with 200bhp turbo engine, the car still carries the modifcations to suit including fully adjustable suspension, Cooper S Brakes with grooved discs, 8mm fuel line and return line installed. Full spec below.

Now fitted with a low mileage 998 engine and box with stage 1 kit fitted. This engine is a gem, starts on the button and holds excellent oil pressure. Makes for cheap insurance and running costs, but has enough grunt to still have fun.

Good luck with sale mate, i wish i had the money for this, awesome motor :)

Thanks lads

I would appreciate everyone's feedback regarding the price on this, I have struggled to decide on a suitable price.

Thoughts?

Great looking car, love the wheels! It's reasonable priced compared to alot forsale, it also has all the right bits to sell IMO!

It's a cracking car, but i think you have it priced too high.

Stunning car, a fair price I think for the work and quality of build. I think you'll sell this very quickly at that price.

Have you tried advertising it on clubman estate register?

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

Good thinking batman, forgot about that.
