I have just found three more minis. An 850, leyland S, and normal Leyland. Plus cooper S motor (9f prefix) various mags,cooper gearbox and head. a couple of 1100 motors, and other parts. All minis are complete requiring restoration. Only rust in 850 on passenger floor. Leylands are very good nic (one has rusty front panel, which has been removed and new panel is sitting on it. All require resto, but for the price I dont think I can go wrong.
1200 the lot, is the asking price. Cooper motor is apart as crank is damaged due to someone not tightening a CV joint.

Do you guys think this package is worth getting. ?
Im thinking of keeping one and selling the other two?

How could a crank get damaged by not tightening up a CV joint??????

"it's got an electrical problem" = A conrod has come through the block and taken out the distributor.

I must spend more time hunting down bargains like this. Somewhere in NZ there must be a barn full of ex-Words cars with full rally kit...
