ZakGT and I viewed this Mini last year and it was totally rotten. The head gasket was supposedly gone and the only salvageable parts seemed to be the interior, glass and wheels. The bodyshell was completely unusable as there was rust where I'd never seen rust on a Mini. Anyway it was sold to this guy who told me this morning he didn't replace any metal just treated surface rust. Note that he doesn't include any photos of the roof and tops of the pillars.

This thing is a basket case and is only fit for scrap/parts. Without replacing a lot of structural panels, this thing would crumple in the event of a collision.

Re: Buyer beware
Statements like this on donedeal set off the aul bullshit detector, the place is full of spoofers like that trying to sell scrap.very fast 1.3 fuel injection engine.
Leaving a car in primer out in the open is also a fairly good sign of a cowboy.
