As a long term, some 30 years, mini enthusiast, I have accumulated lots of spares from several vehicles that were broken for parts over the years. At one point, I think I had around 20 of the things! I have a couple that will be kept forever and one thats a project but I really don't see me using any of the spare parts. I've also got a load of V5 documents. I'd kept them to build specials with but, if I'm honest, can't ever see this happening.

What's the best thing to do with it all rather than chuck it all in the skip - which seems a terrible waste.

Buy a pitch from the organising club at one the big national mini shows, thats what I did, sold most of what I'd taken in one go.

If you are in the UK, there are a number of Autojumbles around.

Beaulieu is the big one twice a year. Newark is on every month. But both are general car & bike jumbles.

Yes, a specific mini jumble would be an idea. The British Mini Club have several - Birmingham in May, Rugby in September.

Just seen yo're in Lincs, so Newark or Stickney (also monthly) would be convenient.

Let me know when you're going, I might be interested in browsing.

I am in a similar boat. I have 2 engines, a v5 doc, an interior, amongst other bits. I keep meaning to contact the local mini club (North Staffs area) to see if anyone will buy the lot.

I think I.ll just tru a few bits on ebay. Even if I get very little, it's hassle free and may help someone out. If even to have a tax exempt car.
