I would say $800! That would be a fair price for both parties in that condition.

How much rust is in the shell?
About $300 if its pretty average up to $2000 if its rust free.
But i value rust free far above engine and mechanical work.

From what he has said the only rust is behind the front wheels but he hasn't had a real good look at it for a fair while

A good set of complete sliding window doors can fetch up to $400, so I think to offer less than $500 - 800 would be rude. However, if he thinks this is worth over a grand he is perhaps being a bit over optimistic! There are better buys else where!

There arent to many roundies turning up, a clubby in similar condition would be worth less.

You wouldnt even consider putting that on the road without a complete mechanical resto.. So it will need a few dollars put towards it considering its been sitting for so long.

Look,,, i`m probably more "old-skool" than most of you with pricing these things these days... & yes i`d like to believe that we are all still living in the 60-70s where a cheap mini was $100

But the fact is that (Now-days) this thing is """worth""" at least a $Grand

what you get for it,,, or what you may buy somnething like thise for is another matter.

it`s a fairly complete early round nose mini with some funky stuff like the tow bar & the sliding window doors etc

add the bits up & you have more than a $Grand,,,

as a whole,,, in the condition that i can see from here,,,,(Obviously i`m not there running my own eye balls over it) but still,,, it`s "Probably" worth a $Grand

$1000

If you`re looking at buying it , then if you get it for less & you`re doin well,,,

if it`s your own car & you want to sell it,,, then if you get more than a $Grand, then you`re doin well

I wish everyone would stop Pretending these things are worth nothing,,, you can try to keep the market price down all you like,,, But funny enough --> what happens when you want to sell (one of or all) of your own,,, then you`d be winging & whining that it`s worth heapos more yeah???

wake up people,,, it`s """"WORTH"""" ---> "At Least" ..... a $Grand

Owen,,, you are close to the money & very fair pricing i believe ,,, well done Bro

Mechanical is not a problem I can do that all myself and I can get parts pretty easy, but I think he is asking a bit much that is why I am getting you guys to see what you think
