up for sale is my 1975 austin mini 850cc. It currently has no tax and test but is virtually ready for one and should pass.
It is between colours at the mo as the previous owner decided to spray it blue but never finished it and i personally don't like the colour so have bought some satin black rattle cans of paint x6 to spray it with.
The mini is solid, any welding that needed doing has been done, it has 10" steel wheels with hub caps and excellent tyres.
There are no carpets but you can get a brand new tailor made set including insulation for £56 off the bay.
It starts and drives fine.
bad bits
needs new choke cable fitting (new one supplied)
needs new heater cable. (someone selling a new one on here for £3 in parts section).
you sometimes have to tap starter for it to engage.(not always)
clutch needs bleeding or setting since fitting new parts, (pump clutch twice and it's there)
could do with different interior as the seats are shabby. (personally i was gonna put a couple of bucket seats in there
good bits
new wheel cylinders
new brake pipes where needed
new slave cylinder, flexi and pipe and clevis pin
new earth cables
new thermostat
new manifold gasket
new oil and filter
new petrol cap
tyres like new
no welding needed
spare 12"mountney leather steering wheel with boss
new clear indicators for front with orange bulbs.
I also bought a brand new set of 13x7 mamba deep dish alloys (see pic) which are still in there boxes. depending on what deal (swaps) i get offered i might throw them in with the deal, other wise, if it's a cash sale, i'll want an extra £200 for them.
they have white painted spokes with a diamond cut deep dish and have never been fitted with tyres.
ideally for swaps i'd be looking for something over 20years old, i love vw's but not too fussy
