1964 Mini Traveller in BMC Green

Post by Shug » Fri Aug 18, 2006 3:24 pm

Okay, my very original and almost completely restored (some paint needs a wee refresh) classic Mini is up for sale. It's sitting (covered) in my driveway and I need the space (and money).

Like I say, very original - engine was rebuilt prior to me buying it - I have a receipt for £1800!!! For an A series! This is one of the original 850cc versions with the non-remote (magic wand) gearshift.

All new carpets, woodwork in good nick and I've just revarnished it - seats need a little attention round the edges, but they are by no means dead.

I have no idea what it's worth, just that I paid a grand for it a couple of years ago as an ongoing project, before overhauling the brakes and doing the tidying above.

The restoration before I got it looks to be extensive - lots of new panels (inlcuding brand new sills) no appreciable rust and an inch of gleaming black undercoat. Footwells all totally solid - it's really a wee timewarp.

So, suggestions on who I should talk to about value, or I'd be happy to sell it to an SE'er. Needless to say, I'm hoping for a multiple of the figure I paid for it, as these are rare we beggars and I bought it from someone who didn't really know about it (was given it in lieu of a debt)

Piccies will follow (the minute it's dry)

Stock pic of a red one, so you know what the hell I'm on about :wink:

Indeed, shedding excess.... Shame, as she's a lovely wee thing, but I can't justify it....

where's the piccy Shug?

Just been out in Kerr's mini, passed his test last Thursday, and it was great fun. His driving is very good, although he did have a day at Bedford and a day at Bruntingthorpe in an Elise last weekend.

So he said he'd pass on details to his mini chums

Sorry - not actually been back to my house for more than 10 minutes since posting that... Blame a g/f with a very comfy bed ;)
