I had one of these some years ago.. They are quite good and certainly very unique. Although the body kit isn't to everyone's tastes. I think I would have preferred something more subtle had there of been a choice. Plus the kit was easily damaged.
ERA mini's had a lot of specialised/bespoke parts which I would guess could be hard to find now if ever you needed replacements. But the engine/box are near as makes no difference standard metro turbo parts. So are not impossible to source.
Amazing handling though, even by Mini standards. Plus the interiors are great and really quite special for a (semi) factory Mini. They are just as rust prone as any other Mini though, so you absolutely have to check for this.

if its the real thing

and is genuine, rust free and has history

then it must be worth a fair bit more than that if brought up to scratch...

I'm sure the real thing in the right condition will be worth more than that, so it could be a good buy. There were only 99 UK spec cars built, 53 of which were green according to the ERA Mini turbo register website.
