So i'm putting the feelers for this up here before i start putting her all over the mini forums and fleabay in the next few weeks.
She really needs to go sometime this year as i'm starting to concentrate on gathering money for a house with the other half and every little bit will help. I've also got my race car in the garage and i know which one i want to keep. I keep telling myself i'll spend some money on her and get her done and in reality i really won't. So its time to stop kidding myself really.
She's a 1984 mini mayfair, retro rally? look to her. I've had some fun with her over my years of ownership and has taught me a lot. Its also shown me how to very much hate a car too! Heres a quick spec:
Thats all i can think off at the moment
Bad points, it does have them!
She is a PROJECT.
No mot/tax car is currently sorn and hasn't been on the road for a few years now. She is showing signs of surface rust/body work needing doing and i've got some photos. I can get up to date photos for you all on friday though. She'll need work around where the front panel and wings meet, sills may need looking at and just various bits of surface rust, you'd probably want to put a heater in her if your going to use her every day, wiring needs looking at, the previous owner went to town on it and i was planning on putting a new loom in the car eventually, window regulators don't work on both sides, she hasn't been started for some time but did turn over last time i tried. She also doesn't have the rear roll cage in any more, this was sold separately.
I've put the price at £2200, I'm in no massive rush to sell. Collection from Southend on Sea. The car will obviously need to be trailered away.
Any other questions give me a message, i work funny shift patterns so sorry if it takes a day to reply!
May be willing to px for something suitable to use as a daily. But don't be offended if i turn what you have down

Thats all i can think off at the moment
