it is in reasonable condition and this guy is asking £400 for it. a month ago he wanted £500 for it.
what kind of price would you be looking to pay for a mini of this age, it doesnt have any m.o.t or tax and the brakes need looking at. nothing serious apparantly.i would be looking to buy it at a reasonable price so i can have it as a project. i trust this guy, i work with him but dont want to be ripped off buy him

car without mot is worth roughly 60 squid to a scrap man & you have to deliver it to him ( without an mot this would be ilegal)
offer him £100 pounds & tell him to ring the local scrap man to check out the price or keep it
p.s if the brakes r dodgy & it has no tax how are u going to get it to your hse, pls promise me u will push it home :) x

It depends how much rust it has for one they are prone to rust in the sills,A panels,around the headlights and around the rear sub frame and its front mountings.The next thing is how many miles on the clock and has it been standing for a long time,you relay need someone who knows Minis to check it out,i had at least 6 old ones and they relay need looking after.My son did one as a project it took 3 years and plenty of money.So if you are interested in this as a project please go into this with your eyes open,its worth it if you have the time to fulfil this and its going to take time.I did one back in the early seventy's and it came out fine but then there where plenty of donor minis about.Its not over priced for the year.

I'd say £500, less the cost of the Mot, a brake over-haul and what-ever is required to sort the Mot sounds fine to me. So get him to do the work, Mot it etc then pay him £500; it'll be alot clearer for you both and alot fairer for you both.

I think the price is fair,but just be aware that it's a 1963 car,it's classed as a classic now,there is bound to be a lot of work involved to get it road worthy,though parts are easy to come by.I hope it works out that you can do it,we gota keep these old cars running,I have a 1966 mk1 cortina.Good luck.

It isnt what I'd pay but it is round the going rate for these things now. I'd be very surprised if it doesn't need some welding though. Check the subframe and bulkhead.

I'd say that is the going rate.
Minis are wonderful cars - I've had 4 myself and they are worth they weight in gold as far as I'm concerned.
Buy it!
