id say it was about 6 grand over priced.

its a late model, so no use in historic racing, and just because it has a repro speedwell badge on the back doesnt mean that its been 'breathed on' at all - unlikely, as by the early 70's speedwell where gone.

if it where a 66/67 or had some serious (and provable) period race provenece than it might be worth 12 grand, but as this doesnt fall into either catagory its just a restored old kitcar for sale by a dealer with a vivid imagination!

Absolutely right.

I am a kit car and Mini nut I currently own three Minis and a Midas which is the updated version of the Marcos. I have owned a variety of Mini's over 45 years including Mini Marcos cars, Unipower, Huster,Cox GTM, Biota, Domino Pimlico, Scamp, Wolseley Hornet, Riley Elf, Cooper, Cooper S. etc etc.

Too many to remember them all.

Unless this car has real provable provenance its is way over value. WAY OVER.

Frankly I think the car would struggle at £6,000.

I would not pay it and I love Minis.
