I'm seriously considering selling out of the mini owners club. I need the money if i wish to go traveling over the summer holidays. I actually never planned on putting the car on the road, but last time i got back from travel, i had no job and so worked on my beast instead :).
I'm after some advice, its a 63 850, which i have tried to keep fairly original. That means not drilling holes where they shouldn't be and not tossing out the original engine. The only holes I've really put in it, are the ones to attach the flares to that rim that the chrome strip goes over, so no big deal.
Do I try and sell it as an 850, with the 850 engine in it, as original as possible, or do i sell it as is, with the engine in a corner and a mild 1100 12g295 as well as the spacers and wide wheels. I have fears if i do this.. the 850 engine, which was running great last i used it (no smoke), will just be basically tossed aside and lost. Keeping in mind that the original 850 interior trim was is in bad condition, so it hasn't been placed back in.
Some of you guys are probably (maybe) aware of what my mini looks like.
Seems as if i've hardly taken any pics with the flares on it, so that'll have to do.
I'm not so into cars anymore... this has been on my mind for a long time, so its no small decision. I've had this car for 7 years. Rego is expiring in a week, but I'll probably top it up. If i sell it, all my parts will go *sob*
Feel free to lend me advice and send your commiserations.
Thanks guys
Good luck finding the right person for it.
