Mini Project
Turbo Mini Forums

So I have decided after much deliberation to sell or trade my mini project, unfortunately I just don’t have the time to spend on this anymore, there is still a reasonable amount of work to be done to the car and I just don’t have the time now I have the 2 kids and have taken on a new position at work. I have included some pictures of the car as it stands at present but can provide additional pictures of anything required upon request.

Cash price for the car and parts as shown in the pictures and described below (less the acewell digi dash) will be £1600 however I am open to swapping for a 1.8 k series or VVC engine in good condition with ECU, wiring loom, exhaust and inlet manifolds for a engine conversion in a MK3 metro plus cash. I am also open to other offers of other cars but must be interesting or different, however needs to be running and have an MOT.

Originally a 1984 Piccadilly I have undertaken a lot of the work to turn this great car in to a light weight weekend track / weekend toy. It just needs someone to spend some time finishing off and getting this great car on the road. Please do not get the impression this is a quick fix to get this on the road there is still a reasonable amount of work required, however most of the hard work has been done for you and you will end up with a fantastic car once completed. The car comes with an over bored 998 block (+30 thou) wedged crank, lightened and balanced rods and most parts required to finish the build.

Collection of the car will require a trailer or similar and a reasonable size car / van for remaining parts engine block etc. Cash on collection only, I will also include a disc with all photos showing the work undertakes so far with the sale for future reference. I will have all parts boxed and ready for collection.
