It has deluxe or later doors - looks good - worth what you can afford.

I would need a better inspection to be sure and to quote - what are they asking ???? Then we can say good or not good value.

If that's original colour, wow, I've had a thing for original black minis.

Pics don't show much, it could be worth a lot or not much. The pics show it too look good, and complete.

Doors and interior trim make it look like a deluxe, between 65 and early 68. . Deluxe is not as rare or sought after as the 850. Better engine and box tho. (if standard). Check for hydro suspension to confirm

Also check Chassis plate on firewall, and the number stamped onto radiator shroud.

Does it run?

Based on presuming the mechanicals will need the 'average' going over and the body is as good as it 'seems' to be from the pic, I'd place it around $2K to $3K if I was selling, would think it a bargain to buy at up to $1.5K.

It is all subjective really!

Cheers

Regardless of what model it really is, if it has a rust-free body that's in original paint or has had a good re-spray (no large patches of bog) then it has to be worth up to $4,000 to some people.

The Matic Shell I have looked great when purchased aside from A-pillars, but it is goint to cost at least $6,000 to repair all the rust properly and to paint it. Even then it will still have telltale repair welds and patched floors due to unavailable panels. It will never be concourse.

Depending on what you want to do with the car, the value (to you) changes.

Photos always make cars look a thousand times better than they really are. None of the bubbles, wobbles and patches show up.

So, if it is just an ordinary Deluxe with losts of rust $600, with just a few spots of rust in floors, A-panels and sills then it could be worth $1,000. If the body is perfect $4,000.
