Oh come on, what is this guy on? 1300cc Turbo in the title, but it's powered by a 1300cc (1275cc to be precise) with a Weber 40DCOE. And I bet the engine's a std 1275cc unit not an MG. A couple of things to mention that aren't brilliant: A weber running without a fuel regulator Brakes - not mentioned, but without a servo it's going to be messy! He must have realised what a mess it looked so just bought a job lot of grey primer from Halfrauds and sprayed everything - even the grill Front indicators won't pass an MOT as they're too dark I have no idea what the reserve is, but it's already at £970 which hasn't met it. cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=29750&item=2495920094&rd=1

Ahaha ahahahahahhahaha haha *cough* That's in a very similar condition / spec / appearance (bar the really Knobbish bits) to my old one. Until sone curse word smashed the windscreen and trashed the inside and I had to scrap it! Seriously, what the :-Xfrazzle is going on with the market for mini's these days? When me and my brother ran them about six or seven years ago, you could pick up a shabby but useable roadworthy standard 1000 for a couple of hundred quid, and just have a laugh with them. Last saturday, after watching "The Italian Job" for about the 1567th time I was inspired to look on the bay for a bit of cheap retro thrashy fun. Imagine my horror to find that you could hardly get ANYTHING useable for under £1000. The world's gone mad, I tell you.

What a turkey! Looks like he had a game of "Pin the tail on the donkey" with that rear reflector (snapped off his sisters bmx by the look of it!) That front bonnet scoop really flows with the lines of the rest of the car doesn't it? He should have bought a Mk5 Escort to nail all the wibblepoo to. Then nobody would care.

LMFAO @ NickB ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
It makes me laugh that he's foam filled the body kit - what to speed the rot process up a little so you don't have to own the heap of wibblepoo for long!
He must be sooo gay (I mean that as in he's a knob, not taking the curse word out of his sexual orientation) - look at the wicker shopping basket hung on the wall, and that he's got central heating in his garage...........!

There's a reason why the wanky body mods are unique like he says! Minis are Ok, but I wouldn't touch that one if you paid me and gave me a ten foot barge pole. One of the good things about small unloved classics (the Imp's not all that well known nowadays compared to the Mini) is that the prices stay reasonably low, and these kinds of numpties that build cars like that monstrosity above don't normally go near them.

don't wanna sound like a dick but don't minis have remote servos hidden somewhere? As in brake servo's? If so, then no. They're mounted to the bulkhead on the driverside (if RHD!) - pretty hard to miss really!

not as unique as you would think: Oh, now that's a unique place to put the numberplate - only because the owners too much of a prick to fill the old handle holes - fckin muppet!
