Sold What do you do with a hot pink & rusty mini?

[Cavcraft]

£200, based purely on the fact I'm notoriously tight fisted.

[Fabergé Greggs]

That might be more like it, it's way more rusty than the photos suggest.

 

The plate belongs to my pal, I need to transfer it which I think I can do now without it being MOT'd.

 

Otherwise I'm in a right pickle.

Call the DVLA.... It may be possible with no MOT. They are surprisingly helpful at times.

Don't need MOT, you can do it online providing-

 

Car must be on DVLA register,

Been taxed or SORN within the last 5 years.

Be available for inspection if required.

How much rust has this got?Prices of minis are going through the roof at the moment,even rust buckets.

These later ones rust like buggery though.What are the sills and floors like,including boot floor.

Is the bulkhead rusted through?

[They_all_do_that_sir]

I thought all old minis were worth £10k minimum

I would think £1500, unless it's being bought for "Daddy's lil' Princess" in which case £3000.

 

Or £5000 to someone who thinks the Italian Job minis came with massive arches, 13" Minilites, and four tons of fake wood on the dash

[Parky]

But remember, here's what you could have.....

 

And if you have storage this will be worth a fecking mint when you come to retire

[Fabergé Greggs]

Oh man, if I had the storage there is no way I'd get rid of it! Sadly it's just sitting on my parents drive in the wettest part of the world. And with london house prices there's no way I'll be able to ever afford a house, let alone one with a garage.

 

It is pretty rusty likes, no real panel to speak of where the boot meets the boot floor!

I think the bulkhead is good though..

 

I'll take some pics when I next visit.

Fuck, I can't use distance as an excuse!

Whereabouts is it, feel free to PM me. I could pop to the car and take lots of high quality pics if you want? I'm near-ish Dumfries.

Ah, Jesus. Sometimes the folks on here really lift the spirits.

What's the score with the plate now? Is it still to be returned? If it could be sold I would be interested as my OH is R66

Definitely to be returned to its owner I'm afraid. Previously you used to have to have an MOT for this but now they've relaxed a little on this so I've no excuse.

 

What's an "OH" out of interest?

[Matt]

What's an "OH" out of interest?

 

Other Half. 

[Slartibartfast]

OH = SWMBO

[DodgeRover]

Sorry was being obtuse my other half is called Sam and she would love the plate if the owner decides to part with it in the future

I was slow on the uptake..

 

Will pass that on, though I've truly no idea of value. Any ideas?

[AlabamaShrimp]

Tbh with the prices the way they are going I'd just keep it if I could. Saying that I'm sure if I had one I'd sell it just after the bubble burst.

Paid around £1000 from DVLA  for F2 MAL 10 years ago, well my wife did.

Don't think its value has gone up although we have had offers to buy.

On that basis If I really wanted it, which I don't I'd pay between £1,000 and £2,000.

It's all in the eye of the beholder though, means very little to anyone else

 

Edit, N123 SAM is on DVLA at £1299.

So I reduce my ridiculous figure to between £800 and £1000.

[sutty2006]

What kind of condition?

 

Last on road in September, but i think stevie wonder MOT'd it the preious year. Bodge after bodge has been found so im going to do a proper job of this one as mrs Sutty will be driving it. Its a 998cc runs and drives quite well and has some bling!

[DodgeRover]

Based on the n123 SAM being £1299 I'm thinking it's probably worth less than I thought! £600 to £800 maybe?

[Fabergé Greggs]

BEEP BEEP TOOT TOOT 

 

Can't work out if it's in great or terrible condition.. the bulkhead is at least solid. 

 

[Fabergé Greggs]

[strangeangel]

Dude, that looks as fucked as fucked can be.

 

I would get rid of it as fast as possible, while repeatedly congratulating myself on the amount of welding and other expense, grief and general unpleasantness I'd avoided by not even getting involved with it in any way at all*.

 

 

 

 

* can you tell I once owned a Mini?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Meanwhile, I scrolled through the photos and thought "hmm, usual areas, it's not that bad really". I would open an account with Minispares. 

 

 

 

 

*can you tell I currently own a Mini?

[Ben_O]

I'm interested dependent on price.

[Fabergé Greggs]

Lols! I can't make any rational judgements because it's so cute that when I see it in the flesh it makes me all fuzzy 

 

*can you tell I'm trying to not own a fucked mini? 

[Fabergé Greggs]

I'm interested dependent on price.

I'd be interested in what price it should be 

[Ben_O]

A grand?

[Fabergé Greggs]

A grand?

That's a very promising offer, thanks. 

 

I do need to stick wait for the new plate details to come through as it's not included, at which point I was gonna stick it on ebay, hoping for something a bit more north of a grand. 

 

The interior etc is bang on and complete and I've seen them go for £500, and the whole car has only done 19,000 miles so the engine/box have got to be worth something too?
