As it's a non-runner, my first question would be, how much MOT left - it gives a good idea if it's really worth repairing.

If it has "thrown a rod", how much other internal damage ?

Beyond that, probably worth more broken and parts sold seperately.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

its got MoT till march and tax still on it too till end of august. as for internal damage its unknown. though has the other engine with it if someone wanted to change them over itd be ready to go again.

i doubt you will get much as a non runner £700-1k tops would be my guess, far better to bit the bullet fix it and then sell

give you 400 tomorrow for it

alternatively if i get it back to running with identical spec what you reckon its worth?

Why not drop the 1275 in it? Would fetch far more like that.

£1500-£1700 tops

Sounds harsh but i dont see much of a market for minis at the moment, there almost a luxury second or weekend car these days.
