In fact, I like it so much, I think I'm going to roffle it and spend a lot more money on a really good one. 

Be careful now, when I do this I often find the original one was better in some random way. Then I end up selling the nicer one, or keeping it and regret selling the original one.

What do you want nicer, and would it not be possible to tart this one up accordingly?

That was the plan man, but me being a lazy fat fucker, I have decided I'd rather spend more money and swear/sweat less. 

I may live to regret it as you say!

I can't give you an exact value, but I guess about 70%?

Rear seats, belts, parcel shelf, door cards, speakers, centre consoles, interior trim aplenty. 

Probably not all of it and probably no fixings, but AT A BALLPARK GUESS: 70%

Interiors are for losers anyway.

Years ago I bought a mk3 cortina out of the scrappy in london, only one seat in it and vinyl roof flapping in the breeze. Yard owner knew a guy who wrote me out a year's dodgy MOT there and then without even looking at it and I drove it out of the yard and straight back to scotland ?

That looks like about 70% of an interior. Stacked up and packed up, ready for collection. 

I'm sure it won't be too long till I have another R53 mini. Longer than initially expected though as I seem to have drastically underestimated what a really good one would cost.

That’s dirt cheap I would say it’s so cheap it would scrap for close to that.

The gearbox sold as a conversion kit for a midland box cooper R50 would be over half that alone.

You won’t have trouble getting rid of that R53 that’s for sure.

I’m out though as I’m afraid I already own a R50  Cooper which is trying it’s best to bankrupt me as I’m sure mine has Renault Laguna 2 electrics.

Yeah I spoke to a breaker and he basically said there's more value in bits on sub-£1100 cars. He breaks motd, driving cars and makes plenty of money so there's demand. 

FOAD picked this up at lunchtime and is away back up the road now.

With the Bini off up the road to Scotland with Foad and Mrs Foad, I found myself all of a sudden without any kind of car. .

Panic. 

Ok, what's for sale within budget?!

 

Luckily, @SRi05 was selling something lovely (leaked via @loserone) which was only one country away. And a lovely shitter who loves Pugs, trains and cans was not far away.  God bless @davehedgehog31 who wouldn't even take wages for bringing it down. 5 star shitter. 

A thread occured. 

 

A car and a shitter came south.

Proud happy bastard.

Headroom is good even for a coupe. No sunroof because fuck a sunroof.

Thoughts so far?

 

Drives like a new car. 

It's slow, but an amazing tourer/cruiser. So fucking smooth, comfortable and quiet. Stereo is bang on, everything works and it's an effortless drive. Really is a credit to SRI05 and Prepace.

 

7/10.
