I'm sorry to hear about your problems getting in and out of a mini and yes I know just what it costs to fully restore a mini. I'm on my second now, and I doubt very much that I could sell it "At cost" and that is doing it all myself.
I hope it goes to a good home. have you had any interest yet?
Chris

What an excellent job you have made in restoring Boris; I'm sorry to hear that you are having to sell him. My lovely Mini Mayfair needs the usual, sills, etc: and at the moment I just can't stretch to the cost of the work needed.
I'm sure you will have no problem in selling him as he's mint!
All the best.
Roger.

Boris is still available also forgot to mention he has a Sony I pod enabled Stereo Fitted with removable front which is included in the Sale And anything i can find that is Mini related that i still have will be thrown in. We really want Boris to go to a good home who will love him as much as we have  This is a Mini Auto you don't have to spend any Money on just Insure him and drive him away then show him £3000 ono Jodie |

Boris is still for Sale if anybody is interested? Reduced Price of £2500 or make us an Offer? Serious Offers in the region of the asking Price accepted If he doesnt sell as he is we will have to sell him to somebody whos going to convert him to Manual Transmission  We would rarther him go to somebody who wants to keep him Auto but if somebody wants to buy him to convert im afraid money talks. Grab a Bargain its worth making an Offer,you never know we might just accept?  ? |
