The worst one I've seen yet. Joke

UK re-shell?

I've seen MK1 MR2 seats in Mini's.

I'd love to hold on to it but haven't the funds to keep her. This is the second Racing Green edition i've owned but the first Original Irish car, still has the original service books etc.

Looks like a 90's shell rather than a '79.

Seen an absolute mint red mini on a transporter outside Gowan Motors this morning! It looked brand new!

Thanks for all the input. Im still undecided, when the car is resprayed it'll only be used for good weather use and garaged the rest of the time. Has anyone fitted 13's on an older mini? Is there much to it?

Seen that monstrosity earlier, What a waste of even a rotten mini!

Just checked the advert and it's marked as sold!

Apart from the body work, how much of an original Mini is used? Could you not find an old rotten Irish Mini and transfer all the Midas parts on to it?

Anyone want to buy a kidney or something so I can afford it!

whats the vrt on it though?

(Just checked it there, apparently its €480 with 50k miles)

From members experience which would be the best alloy wheels to go for? I have 10inch at the moment and am pretty happy with them, but if I were to change what would be the pro's and con's of going for the likes of a 12inch or 13inch sportspack alloys? I know there are more options when it comes to ...

Gone up to €52 for 2012

I have a blue pair of MK1 MR2 seats there if your interested! Excellent condition and stored in house so they wouldn't go moldy in the garage.

Reminds me of the '89 Racing Edition I had, wire kept coming out from the fuse panel.

Seen that red 04mh in Blackrock this evening!

What is the basic kit? it's looking a bit pricey at £7k when the rhd honda kit is only £1.5k!

Must be one of the last registered ones in Ireland!

I've seen that around the RDS a few times when heading to the Rugby!

I had bought it on DVD but it hasn't resurfaced since I got back

Spotted these is NZ, pity I could photograph the amount that was over there. I the long road trips and through all the small towns there was Mini's scattered everywhere. One of NZ's most Famous Minis from the Film "Goodbye Porkpie": http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e197/oel159/DSC03901.jp...

Looks like a fancy weather proof golf buggy.

Japanese Grading System: S Superior to Grade 6 or higher 6 or higher is as good as new. Exterior and interior are in immaculate condition. Some cars in these grades have never been driven. 5 – The car doesn’t need repair. The car has been repaired slightly, and the repair is in very good condition. ...

That is true, sorry Shay. By far the one of the nicest and cleanest mini's out there, and would have it in a heartbeat if the money was there.

If money was no object I'd have an ERA in each Colour and a BAC M-30

There was another Green ERA that went for £7500 there very recently that was in very good condition. A few months back there was another that needed a lot of work that ended up going to holland and was purchased for £4000, couldn't get the funds in time or I would have had it :( the only other one t...
