Price? More info needed. Is it a late 80's mini on a 1970 plate?

I would probably say around 2500-2800
I could be wrong though

it probably is a late 80's shell with an earlier number plate. not that it matters.

Any idea what sort of umph the engine has? Have you had it running recently? Cheers Ben

No!!! You can't sell it! Only needs a bit to get it finished :( sell that new car you've bought

Avon 2010 class c 3rd

dunno what kinda power it'll have and its never been run, as rich says (and he should know its with him) it only needs a little to get it driveable. due to unforeseen circumstances, i need money desperatly. rad needs mounting, megajolt, wiring loom installing(brand new) and a dash,carpet and some wheels.

If you are asking how much a 1970 Mk3 is worth when it is really a 1989 car then yes it does matter a lot.

Would you be interested in just letting the engine go? What would you be happy to take for it? Any receipts or photos of the engine/ box build? Cheers Ben
