I have just completed a deal to buy a clubman and a van shell. Along with the cars comes trailer loads of new and used parts, a lot which I do not need. My dilemma is I do not know what the second hand stuff is worth and for that matter nor the new parts and there is some very interesting stuff there. Is there anyone in southern Sydney or Wollongong who could help me price this stuff? Also where can I get hold of a parts book? Most of this stuff is for clubmans though I know there are mint 850 doors in it, right hand tanks, disc brakes, 7 Cooper S blocks and the list goes on. This will not be a 5 minute job as a lot of stuff will have to be identified and part numbered for future reference. If anyone can spare the time PM me and I will see what we can work out.

That stuff is all completely worthless, but as a favour to you I'll take it off your hands for nothing. 8)

Seriously though, I want a RHS tank!

I'll take the 850 doors. They'll only weigh you down and take up space anyway :lol:

Those disc brakes are worthless! I'll do you a favour and take em off your hands! :wink: :lol:

If they are a 7.5 inch set, then you have just made back your purchase price of the van!!

so the truth comes out about the real value of minis

chris what you should do first is put them on the For sale section of this forum
and you can have a bidding thing going on

if you're not happy about the bids/comments or you see that we're paying much too little
then put the items on ebay

im not sure if you can just have one person down there with you saying:
"yep thats worth a bit... yep"
although i imagine that person will be very lucky in skimming things off the top... and bottom

go through everything slowly and you should find more money

No. They came from Wollongong. Anyone know where I can get a parts book? I am going to need spare parts boxes also. Any ideas where I can get them?

The proper spare parts boxes are a long narrow cardboard thing with two or three dividers stapled into them. The dividers can be ripped out as needed.

I would love to help you identify and price the parts, but I am at the opposite end of Sydney. Sorry champ, but good luck with your Davey Jones locker!
