For Sale 1993 Mini Shite 1.3 Carb

[Claphamrangie]

Anyone fancy a tilt at this old contemptible?

 

1993 Mini Sprite

 

1993 Mini Sprite carburettor model. 10 months MOT.

 

Engine rebuilt by previous owner in 2015

New rear subframe 2015

Rear suspension rebuild 2015

New driver's side inner and outer sills and floor 2016

New rear wheel bearings in 2018

 

Minilite style wheels, Paddy Hopkirk gearshift kit, sports dashboard (auxiliary dials present but not wired in), Union Jack roof wrap. Has the more comfortable 'Metro' style front seats and a remarkably powerful stereo with USB connection.

 

Whilst structurally solid, the bodywork is quite scruffy. The boot-lid in particular is on its last legs but I have a brand new one that will come with the car.

 

The car drives nicely and is tremendous fun to drive. I have enjoyed owning and slowly upgrading this car for nearly three years but, having covered less than a thousand miles a year, it makes no sense to keep it.

 

What do you reckon - £3.5k?

Blimey ....I can remember when a brand new Mini was £497 ..

Good price on present values. Having had dozens of them can’t see me getting another so have been clearing out 20 years worth of bits, prices are mad now.
