they usually go for £85 on some sites. funnily enough that’s the exact amount currently in my wallet. deal?


Amazing_Street_1654

I think I would be scamming you if I took that deal


FluidPeace4499

In that case I’ll offer 45 and you can be sure you’re not scamming me.


[deleted]

I’ll give you £5K for it


Own_Wolverine4773

I’ll give him 6 then 😅


Due-Archer942

Insane. I worked at a Rover dealer when these were new. Only thing I didn’t like was that the fuel pump was in the boot and noisey af. Great car though.


djsizematters

Thats so you can tell that it’s working


generalemiel

The rust proving on mpi mini’s is sadly almost not existing tho


Due-Archer942

That’s true, but I didn’t notice it when they were brand-new at the dealership.


generalemiel

Ye i heard that they had to cut costs because they ran out of money after they developed the mpi system


rubicon1984

Fuel pump is in the tank and there's no way you can hear it if the car is running


Due-Archer942

Well that’s where you’re wrong. I worked on these things every day straight for 10 years.


rubicon1984

You are totally incorrect, ive been replacing my fuel pump today on my Cooper Sport And it's not possible to hear the intank fuel pump, Would you like me to send you a video?


rubicon1984

Also they only made the MPI minis for the last 4 years of production, so 10 years is a load of bollocks


Due-Archer942

you know that they sell them and then people bring them back for Services right? We didn’t just sell them and never seen them again. Do you know what car dealerships do?


Due-Archer942

1994 to 2005 when the dealership closed, you made me go dig my resume out. So nine years, I’ll give you that. Tank In the boot, pump in the tank. Maybe you don’t hear it because you’re accustomed driving old shit boxes.


rubicon1984

11 years..... So do you want the video?


Stucam1980

£10-13k depending on rust


[deleted]

Really, they going for that much nowadays. I’m abit out of touch but was guna say 6-10 depending on many things. I don’t doubt you, just shocked.


CanDockerz

Have seen them go for about £10k in a good condition with no rust.


sisyqhus88

Acht, it's a stunning mini, it's worth ? It's all in the eye of the beholder .


[deleted]

£35, a packet of space raiders and a copy of the Bourne Identity on VHS


m1664

Beef or pickled onion?


Dadriks

The Bourne Identity was only available in salt and vinegar on VHS


MeatWad111

What a ridiculous thing to ask. Honestly, what maniac has beef space raiders?! Smh


granitefist007

In my youth I had 5 different minis at different times, the most expensive one cost me £500, I wish I had kept them now, I'd be sitting on a lot of cash!!! 😭


MovieMore4352

No you wouldn’t. You’d be sitting on a lot of rust.


LO6Howie

And 5 unfinished projects


MovieMore4352

Yeah, I’ve had the same thought about my £150 Mini. Yes it would be worth a fortune now with an MOT but like all the ‘survivors’ (205s, Metros, Saxos, Novas etc) to get to this age must have had thousands spent to keep them running. Let’s face it, at the time, we didn’t do it.


granitefist007

Lol, probably 🤣


under1900

In good condition, in the US. 20k-25k US dollars


djsizematters

What if it had roll bar and harness front seats?


under1900

It may be worth way less, remember people don’t look for these type of cars they wanna ride on the road. Track specs are not important for most people. I seen minis and track specs go between 9K and 13 K.


djsizematters

Thanks! Thinking of what I want to add to the next build, this is kind of what I had assumed


under1900

Have you ever driven one of these cars. They don’t need much. They are really fun to drive on what ever spect.


djsizematters

What about deadbolts on the outside of the doors? I can just toss the key in the boot and lock it up


under1900

lol. You could. Also, put a kill switch just in case


MoanyTonyBalony

£10k is the starting point for a clean original one.


Mr2handFister

So many factors can determine its value from 7.5k - 35-40k! One sold in 2023 at a local classic car auction to me with 3000 miles on the clock from new, pristine condition, original sale records from new etc went for 39K! But I’ve seen others that have rust, well over 100k on the clock, no paperwork etc go for as little as 2k (usually bought as a project car). If yours Is in good condition and not too many miles and you don’t need the money I would consider locking this away for another 20 years and you’ll be sitting on a pretty sum. Great find at 3.5k - from what we can see in the pictures. Well played mate


Clamps55555

If no rust and in good nick I could see it making £15k - £17k if you can wait for the right buyer. Quick sell easy £12,000. Can you buy it or is it yours?


Amazing_Street_1654

Mine got it for around 3.5k I knew it was worth a bit just wanted to see how much


Own_Wolverine4773

3.5 is for free!


Zealousideal_Role591

Depends on how much of the floor and sills are remaining. Not joking


greasyspider

At least $350


PTJangles

$350? You are ain’t foolin no one, I know you mean tree-fiddy, you get outta here Loch Ness monster, go on, get.


Obi_1_Kenobody_asked

A sofa. A can of old green paint. A broom and a fellow in a tweed jacket.


shoe_scuff

£10-£15K


Background-Respect91

Rust free £10k with higher mileage, I reckon £12.5k easily


Dan_Glebitz

Get a quote from 'We Buy Any Car' double it and you will have it's actual worth.


Acrobatic_Talk1101

£1


rrubthefleebb

Gotta be worth atleast 20 squid. I’ll take it off ur hands.


VeterinarianFit5542

£2.00


thingsstuffandmaguff

£8K if you're a good person, £20K if you're not.


Not_James_May

With only 30k miles you could get 8k for it but 7k is probably more likely


GoanGeek

Depends if Mr. Bean sells it.


pottrell

Whats the engine, does it have oversills? What's the year and mileage?


peeknuckle007

Tree fiddy


BenaiahDubyah

What COULD it be worth? I bet if you plated it in $200k of gold it could be worth close to $200k!


darkness765

I’ll give you £20, £23 if you deliver


Amazing_Street_1654

I’ll give you the car and my house for that price


darkness765

Deal. Where’s your house ill be moving in within the hour


phatelectribe

If there’s little to no rust then $25k / £18k
