whats it worth

[jjcc]

thinking of selling my 91 cooper 1380 injection owned for past 11 years thousands spent over the years engine, exterior, interior, now just don't get a chance to drive it enough.. sits in the garage and i take it for a run once a week.. surface rust on wings and rusting now on doors.. has been my baby for years my first car... how much would i get for it? God its a good drive..

I have a 93 model, similar story, rust now starting to tke over; doors, A=panels, wings etc... I reckon you should achieve £1500 without too much problem (obviously I don't know exactly what spec yours is). I've reached the conclusion that it isn't worth trying to do odd panels or paint here and there. When I restore mine it'll be a full strip down, repanel as required and a full repaint etc... That kind of work will be circa £2000 to do, so given that c£4K seems to be a good starting point for a restored A1 90's Cooper I reckon £1500+ ish is about right. How bad is yours? Values for these are only going one way and the bodywork would not be a bad investment if it meant you'd keep the car.

Go on, do it up. Keep it.

bloody hell another elise and real mini owner... you got anything else? yeah heartbraking to sell but just getting hard to justify it.. was thinking between £1500 and £2000 its bloody lovely and so strong mechanically with beautiful interior..

Sadly sold the Elise, but Cayman S arriving in January. BMW 320d is the everyday mile-muncher.
