Sold Fur’ Zayle - Mini Cooper, Cornwall, £SOLD!

[83C]

A couple of months ago I went to Shropshire and retrieved a Mini Cooper for Mrs 83C. The plan was to fix it up and for her to use it, but time has conspired against repairing it.

 

It’s a 2002 Cooper in Yellow, standard bits including central locking, leccy windows and alloys.

 

The issues: the gearbox makes a clicking noise in 1st gear, otherwise it drives well. The Body Control Module has failed due to water ingress (TADTS), replacements can be had for £50. An exhaust rubber has perished somewhere, causing a clonk from underneath over speed bumps.

 

The good - it has test until late September, still drives (I drove it back from Shropshire), and the body is fairly clean now I’ve removed all the tar spots.

Shiters’ price - £425, collection from TR4 9PU

 

EDIT: The spare gearbox has sold separately, so this is now £300! Come and get a mahoosive barg!

 

SOLD!!!!

Have a bump. These really do look quite nice now, especially given the gopping nature of the current Mini range.

[purplebargeken]

OMG. A yellow Mini.

 

So much want!

Swap you a red MGF

[vaughant]

I swapped out an engine and box in one of these, bit of a doddle really add far as moderns go so the box should be an easy task.

[83C]

Swap you a red MGF

I would, but as it’s Mrs 83C’s car she just wants a straight sale. I’ll have a random in the roffle for it though!

I might sound thick, but what's a Body Control Module?

Central locking, wipers and windows. All in one box.

Central locking, wipers and windows. All in one box.

And the lights. No indicators, headlamps stay on dipped beam, tail-lights on. Basically running in a lighting version of limp mode. Brake lights work independently of the BCM though.

BCM - surely you mean BMC?

i CAN'T THINK WHY WE'D need another 51 (Liquid) Yellow (Code 91 IIRC) Mini  with a black roof in the family fleet, but I have 1st Refusal on the one above if my daughter decides to buy something else.

This is testing my resolve.....

No BMC in these things, mores the pity.

[83C]

Roll up, come grab a shiters bargain! £70 off making the Min £425!

[purplebargeken]

Uber bargain.

[83C]

BFO price drop: THREE HUNDRED QUID!

[SiC]

Freaking bargain. Even with a duff box. I'm sure* this could just be driven around in 2nd gear up.

[New POD]

I honestly would buy this if

a) it was closer

I had either spine or balls

[busmansholiday]

Bollocks, why is it when there's a car I fancy and even Mrs BMH doesn't say no to I'm either on holiday or not going to be in that part of blighty for a few months.

[purplebargeken]

OFFS!!!!! 

[Flat4]

Other half is asking what mileage is on this?

[83C]

134,000 if I remember correctly.
