Afternoon boys and girls
Looking for some opinions on a few cars please:
1971 Scimitar, complete but partially stripped - lights, some trim etc. Not seen the road for 15 + years. Looks pretty good underneath. No logbook.
Mini Clubman estate, year unknown. 1 wing, front panel and an A panel removed. Doors look good, underside needs work. Not seen the road for 15 + years and again no logbook.
Quite hard things to value when complete and on the road let alone when they've been parked up this long!

Few more details and a picture:  Car is an auto. Boxes of parts in the boot, lights, interior parts etc. I had a quick look underneath and it looks pretty solid really. |

And the mini:  Also an automatic. As said, the front panel, n/s wing and o/s A panel have been removed, the bonnet has a pretty good dent in too. Interior looks more or less complete minus the seats. Underside will need work. Engine is there but with no ancillaries. Any thoughts guys? |

No idea on the scimitar
The mini I would say somewhere around £400. It's an auto which are less desirable than manuals, it needs front end panels which are a lot more expensive than round nose panels, there's no way of seeing if it runs, and being a mini needing work underneath you have to expect the worst.
Both of the ones I've bought were about that price and similar condition, although both were runners. The best place for that would be ebay imo, although it's not really the best time of year to be selling a project which could effect what it goes for

Completely agree with the above, but I'd be a bit tighter and say £300 on the Mini.
As for the model year, it looks to be an earlier model as it has the drip rail on the gutter above the doors, so I think that should place it pre '76.
What are the plans for the cars then alfow, are you pricing up to buy them or are you selling them?

Could you PM me a price for the Clubman if you do decide to sell it please?
I am after one for a daily to replace my van (after a bit of work obviously).

Thanks for the input guys.
Both cars are for sale. I am picking them up next Monday so they will be available from then.
£400 for the Mini is near to what I had in my head, given the work it will require - but still not a bad place to start from either.
In an ideal world i'd keep the Scimitar to restore myself as i've always liked them but the timing is wrong for me and the shed is taken up with a car I finished building only last year.
Please get in touch if interested in either Car. I am in SN7 near Faringdon.
