what do you think this mini is worth,
its jsut had an MOT and is solid underneath, had a faire bit of welding but all solid
1976 Mini Sprite 1000
spec :
1275 engine with twin choke carb
10" Minilites with falken tyres (specifically designed for use on minis)
LCB manifold & Y-pipe
Exhaust = Sportex straight centre to backbox with 2" tip
Facet performance elec fuel pump in boot
Spax adjustable shocks all round
Cooper S front brake disc conversion
Tinted rear screen and side 3/4's
Clear front indicator lenses
MK2 rear lights
Honda crx front seats
It started off as a mini sprite in red with a 1000cc engine in. One of the previous owners has then obviously made the change to black with a white roof and it now has a 1275cc engine with weber 45 carb in it. The dash is from a mini clubman and so has different clocks in it to original (original would have been a central mounted speedo) so the mileage is somewhat unknown, plus the speedo cable was not connected when I bought it! But I have now replaced this with a new item. for what its worth, clocks read just under 52,000.
Not much service history unfortunately
Also whats does anyone know the car?

Dash is changed to a clubman dash
this would have been the orginal dash, a pod in the centre
the new clubman dash is like this
i prefer the clubman one tbh

£3-4K I should imagine. If it was a cooper, it would be more £5-6k.

Mini prices seem to be all over the place at the moment.
I would say £2500 minimum as a serious minimum. although it could be easily worth upwards of 3k.
There seems to be a lot of people who are deluded with what they have, a rotter with no engine which people are wanting 1500 for! This only makes the price of half decent ones go up even more!
My mate just sold his 82 city E needing a lot of work with over 110k and no MOT for £1200.
Last mini i bought was in 2006 and that was a 82 with 35k on the clock and one owner from new, £300 that cost me back then. Surprising how times have changed haha

Just last week I bought an '85 Mini with full MOT which is quite similar looking to yours but has full rollcage, rally headlights etc, but only a 1.0 engine. It has had a lot of work done, new floors, arches, sills etc. I paid £2500. Will have pics up when I get it unSORN'd, but as said Mini prices seem to be all over the place.

If it's mint then around £4k. A mate of mine stripped a Mini completely down a couple of years ago and built it from scratch, worth around £4k now.

I would have went for a bigger engine too, but insurance wouldn't allow. You'll have great fun in it I'm sure.
