I'm generally not a fan of the bodykits but I can appreciate a nice looking car.

At 3.5k buy it now something must be horribly wrong with it?

All I can fault with it from what is stated is the disc's may need an engineer's certificate to be registerred/transferred , it does seem too cheap for a running 1275 in a clean and shiny body with good interior , let alone with a body kit , custom paint and custom interior .....
WOnder if there's a story behind it , anybody know the car or the seller ? Is it the owners ex selling it or something like that ????? If it's all above board then it looks to be a good car for a great price .

Just been having a closer look at the pics , can anybody else see any external door hinges ? The door's the right shape and has 1/4 vent windows to be an Aussie mini (maybe 72 mini K rather than 73 unless it's had the clubby front removed and a roundy front put on ) but I can't see the hinges . Where's 666 , it might be the perfect mini for him and what he saves on building his own can be spent on whatever's wrong with this one . Just make sure you do a revs check on it first ......

Ive seen internal hinges on aussie cars before...they not necessarily pretty but do the job. I think monster mini had some on his green car.

No , their bad , they wrote it as degutted I think from memory ..... Be a lot cheaper than building your own up to that level , a respray over a nice and straight body is a pretty easy thing really .....
