I've got a 1989 Austin Mini Rose. 1 of 500 made apparently.

Its in a pretty sorry state unfortunately and needs alot of work which is beyond me in terms of skill, know-how, time and money.

I had a guy come round and look at it, he said it was a bit too much work for him but even in its current state it was worth something like £300 because its a special edition.

The sub frames look to be in good condition, its likely to need a new door and welding in all the usual spots. The engine, 'box and clutch should be fine.

Anyway - was wondering if £300ish was plausable for a car in such condition (obviously its hard to tell without seeing pictures - and I'll try and get some up in the next few days)

Any thoughts/recommendations are appreciated.

Would have thought that eBay would be the best way to establish the price.

Put it on e-bay with a £300 reserve. Have a look at the classified adverts online in the Miniworld magazine.

Took your advice and stuck it on Ebay, for those that are interested click the link.
