original mini minus
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello there everyone. I have in my possession an original mini minus shell which is as far as i'm aware the only one with a removable front end on. The front end was custom made by minus cars from the original minus cars moulds. It has the advantage of being an original cars because fibreglass takes years to properly cure (therefore adding rigidity and strength).
As mentioned it comes with a fully removable front which detaches with the A panels ( so the whole front is accessible.
It also comes with doors (from a rot free MPI) that have been shortened using new panels and only require window channel hoops and skins to complete.
The body work is in primer and only needs a bit more effort added to get it into a booth for its final colour.

These are getting very thin on the ground now as there were only 52 made in the first place and to my knowledge the company minus cars have gone under, making it harder to obtain one.

For a bit more info on the background you can look here: http://www.miniminus.co.uk/

I know these shells normally go for £1500 without a brand new removable front end and minus cars were selling them at £2500+ before they vanished of the radar.

I'd be asking £1600 but I would be open to reasonable offers.

I'm located in Bewdley, West Midlands (the middle of the country which is handy).

If you are interested just send me a pm and I will mail some to you ASAP.

Regards Mike

Just to add the whole shell is fibreglass so weighs as much as a pack of matches and will never rot!

Does it have a V5?

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

No it is just a shell ready for building up.

Well I have a few photos to wet your whistles:

Right have had a lot of interest in this now and it is a steal at £1600 but now i'm looking for £1500 for it as it needs shifting (this is an absolute bargain as normal shells without a brand new fibreglass front end costs this this much usually). I can assure the first person who see's it will buy it.

Just so everyone knows this is still up for grabs. I do want it shifting and am open to offers of over £1200 (even that is shooting myself in the foot).
