Yeah, but a series 3 e-type is even uglier.

Hey, this is AS - surely, the Series 3 E-Type is the one to go for ?

For full AS points, one should go for a shonky coupe imported from the US with those unmissable federal bumpers !

Classic Mini Mayfair 1988. Automatic 11 Months Mot ,starts An Drives

This will have hidden rot right? Every single Mini I've seen that wasn't recently restored did.

They are eminently easy to fix.  In fact, I don't think there is another car on planet earth that is simpler to repair - on the basis that every single panel, piece, part and thing you could ever need is still available brand new.

They don't hide the rust, you just use your drunken eyes and go 'Oh yeah - that bit too'.

If you're not into rust then old cars might not be the best pursuit!

Look at the fucking STATE of this!!!

And although it took seven years and around three thousand hours, the vehicle you see here does indeed bear a striking resemblance to the Jaguar D-Type”

if it was described over the phone, in French, by someone with no eyes 

 

UnBearable, if I need to bare an opinion. No resemblance, looks like the work of a 7yo.

Absolute bargain despite the issues.

I could maybe swing it with t'missus if it was an estate but if I brought that home on a trailer I'd have to sleep in it for a few months and it is the wrong time of year to try that again ;-)

Yup. A friend spent £18k 6 years ago having a 1990 Mini restored. Since then, It’s been garaged, done minimal dry only miles etc, and it already needs another scuttle panel. 

This one will be rotten.

If its lived inside and been mainly used in the dry and the scuttle has rusted through in 6 years then it wasn't done properly and was probably just troweled full of filler over rust.

I restored a 1962 AH Sprite in 2001 and that has been inside since, done over 10K miles including in torrential rain including ending up full of water at one point, not been used since 2013 and there isn't a spot of rust on it.

Yes I saw that, I was inferring that there should be plenty of glass available from scrap cars.

Holy crap, that is legendary.

There's nearly a hundred photos so we can all appreciate the "faithful proportions and dimensions"!

I think his metalwork teacher would probably mark it 5/10 a good first effort.

It’s a proper Frankenstein monster. you can sort of see what they wanted to do but you can still see the bolts and stiches and the proportions are odd.

I do not need to say much about this except it is not cheap.
