Assuming no expensive and/or hard to get bits are trashed or missing I'd guess 2k. What you see in what you get and there shouldn't be any hidden horrors.

No No No leave that rusty pile of bits alone. That roof will be a nightmare then there is the rust to the rear window frames and the front lower section of the bulkhead. It will be like my Jensen project and will suck so much time and cash because you will have to get it perfect to get the money back. Buy one if you must but this is not a good idea as they will disappoint when you do get one so why invest the amount of effort you are going to have to put in this just to sell it after.

You know how it is with me

Likewise I can't help but buy something after selling something. Especially shouldn't really be buying anything right now and getting on finishing what I have.

I bidded up this to £500 but at a grand, it's a bit too much of a impulse buy project for me. I suppose at least the wheels and frame are still attached to the body. Admittedly it is a MK1 so always be worth something.
It's up for sale on FB for £2.2k and the way this auction is going, might end up looking cheap..

Incidentally I was in Moss Bristol on Wednesday and they had store Mini on show in the shop. It's the one that is taken around shows and used for marketing purposes. Even that had rust blotches breaking through under the paint. If even they can't keep rust away, it reinforces in my mind that there is no point buying an immaculate example as it'll be rusty in a matter of years at most.

The issue with all these cars is they represent years of work to get finished. Even if you're just trying to get it roadworthy and still looking like shit you'd be sick of the sight of it long before they're finished.

Get the Sprint finished, sell it, buy a half decent Mini.

Nice little moped. £11 short of 12 grand though.

The price of badly placed nostalgia?

[Hooli]

I wouldn't give £12 let alone £12k for that.

[DodgeRover]

I would give a grand for it, it's got pedals so is not restricted!

Pedals and that curly shit on the bars, you couldn't look a bigger cunt even in an Invacar.

Even worse they are fucking two smokes as far as I know, so sounds like a less powerful hedge trimmer.
