I'm quite tempted to bid on this. Looks a viable project with a bit of work.

Won't the lack of documentation and proof of ownership cause a load of headaches?

Could you not get a heritage certificate from Gaydon? A printout of the eBay transaction and a receipt of the vendor should do as proof of ownership?

Ha ha! I like the state of that Mini! Where's the floor? I can't even see the ribs, just bits of old filing cabinet in the footwells.

I was pulling your legs a bit ;) .... But actually thinking about it, it is a possible project if everything major is there... (Thank god I don't have storage)

There is a complete heritage Mini shell in the Moss Bristol branch on the store floor I keep looking at. Pretty decently put together thing and not too shocking a price.

Re-shelling a Mini is a good idea - until you discover that every single piece of the thing it is to restore is absolutely fucked/doesn't fit.
