Another whats it worth thread?
Turbo Mini Forums

As some of you know, I've decided to sell my mk1 to buy something different that I'll get more use out of, but I am struggling to work out value. Some rot boxes on eBay go for 4k + but then some nice examples don't reach that. Mine is a 1960 fully restored, I think it had 37 new panels in the end. It runs and drives fine, but needs a gearbox rebuild, and a few other bits finishing off (nothing major). Both front seats are ripped, but I have one mint replacement seat.

I can't decide what to ask for it? Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Matt

Try the mk1 forum. They wil know

I'm not sure how much help this will be but a guy in our club has his mk1 850 which has not long been put on the road, a bit rough around the edges (paint is awful!) but is MOTed has got his agreed at £8500. I think his might be a super deluxe too. Depends how quickly you want to get rid of it to be honest, maybe post some photos to help :)

In my mind that should do quite a bit more than 4000 quid..
You have the pictures to support the restoration quality and total work done.. (I think it's brilliantly done!)

Just my thoughts,

Christ that's gorgeous!

A you can see a lot of work has gone into it, I'm just not sure how much he gearbox rebuild, and interior bits will devalue it. Is it classed as a non runner?

Wouldn't have thought it would be a non runner if the engine starts and works as it should, Easily £4k plus in my eyes even with the gearbox needing some attention.

4k easy all day and 4 to 6k IMO ........... it just needs the right buyer.

having said that its SUpppppperbly done.......... very nice

deffo worth more like 5 or 6k if it is as good as the pics make out.

if you have time it would be nice to lob a new box on it.

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

at least

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

I've been wanting to do the box ever since I built the car. I literally chucked it In For the mag shoot, and its been like that ever since.

I haven't got the space to have this one in pieces as well as the turbo motor, otherwise it would definitely be worth doing. Which is the main reason I'm selling, due to no storage space, and leaving it outside just seems to be a waste.

Talk to mark on MK1 forum hell know but dude this car is one of the better built mark 1's kicking about (y) ill be surprised if you didn't get 6k+

Could you do a deal with someone like guessworks to get an exchange box from him? just pay the surcharge until you send yours back?

I'm sure you could do engine out and in within a day

I would love a car like this!

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I would say the non working box will hurt the value, it has to be worth having it fixed as it's such a nice example!

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

I'd have thought closer to 8k.

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.

I would say that the iffy box is a minor detail for such a clean example,

I saw this one the other that made good money.

Thanks for the feedback, at least I have some idea now.

Is there something I'm missing about this one? Nearly 5k and it looks like its rotten through?

I have no idea and am puzzled! Im a ebay addict n something like this would normally go for 2k tops!!! I brought a 1965 mk1 super deluxe been in a old boys garage since 1990 off ebay for £650 that would go through a mot with a couple patches so god knows why that one is at 4600!? Anyone else?

Anyone got any ideas on this still? Hidden cooper or something? Its 5100 now!!??

Ahhh i can relax now... must of been a few wind up bids as its just ended after being relisted at a more understandable £ 912

i know its a difrent market but i sold my 63 morris a total rust bucket it basicky needed a new shell anyways it was if all standared non touched from new just run into the ground it did however start and drive and stop i spent a few days playing with it to free the stuck parts up and blead brakes ect and was suprised they kind of worked lol sold that thing for 3200 aus in i think that mini is an easy 8-10 grand aus
