What's my Mini worth? Fully restored high spec 1380.

[Flat6]

Evening all.

I'm toying with the idea of moving my Mini on, due to lack of use and lack of space since a house move. I know I'll probably regret it (as I did with the last one!) but I think it could finally be time for me to move on..

I've spent literally thousands on it but have no idea of what it's likely value might be to the right person, so would appreciate any input from those in the know. I've been out of Mini circles for some time so need an idea of where to pitch it if I decide to take the plunge.

I didn't want to go into too much detail but to give an idea of what's been replaced I've listed the main items below, but basically it's a fully/properly restored 1974 Mk3, completed in 2007 but only covered around 350 miles since (always garaged).

All genuine Rover panels used.

New parts used: (the main ones)
Laminated windscreen (+ all seals)
Genuine stainless steel Rover bumpers & Rover grille
Minispares Group 5 works arches
Halogen headlights
Rover 7.5 gallon tank

Genuine Rover rear subframe mounted with Nylon bushes
Genuine Rover (not recon) radius arms
Minisport adjustable rear camber and tracking brackets
Rear wheel bearings and brake cylinders
Minifins
Minispares 4 pot alloy calipers
Goodridge hoses throughout and Ferodo pads/shoes
Minisport group-A rose jointed tie bars
Minispares on car adjustable front lower arms with offset bushes
Front taper roller wheel bearings
CV joints
Steering rack/track rod ends
Hi-lo’s all round
AVO adjustable dampers all round

Maniflow LARGE bore LCB manifold
Maniflow LARGE bore centre exit exhaust
Minispares supercool 2 core radiator with new 11 blade fan
Smiths tachometer
Delux carpets (with orignal Mk3 interior & moto-lita wheel)

Genuine Minilite 6x10 wheels with Yokohama A032R tyres

Engine spec(if anyone's still reading!) is as follows:

Fully rebuilt offset bored 1380cc A+ block
Powermax pistons
Vandervell VP2 bearings
MED wedged crankshaft
Kent 286 cam
Kent vernier duplex timing gear
Slark full race, offset valve tunnel port head with 37.5mm inlet and 32mm exhaust valves
Isky valve springs with titanium top caps
Roller rockers

Transmission
Rebuilt gearbox with 3.9 final drive & central oil pickup
Timken roller straight cut drop gears
Minispares ultralight forged steel flywheel
Minispares lightweight EN8 clutch pressure plate
New AP rally clutch plate
Orange competition diaphragm
New clutch master cylinder
New clutch slave cylinder with Goodridge hose

Aldon Red distributor
Weber 45DCOE on Maniflow steel inlet fed with Facet solid state fuel pump

It's a quick car and the engine ran a 14.63 at Elvington in the last Mini I had (before it was rebuilt but with the same final drive etc)

Here are a couple of pics. Thanks for any advice.

Its always hard to price old minis. Off the top I would say 6K-7K? If you have the time and put the work in you may get more. It looks very nice. Is always worth looking in the mini mags to see what cars like yours are going for. Good luck (you will regret it but you can always get another one later copper?).

A suggestion: Try to get one of the comics(Mini Mag or Mini World) to do a feature on it. That will give it exposure and add to the value.
Yes, £6k to £7k would seem to be a fair market price, but the quality that shows from the photos would indicate that it would be a bargain that that price.

I agree ^^^^^, but i would say maybe £8000 if you dont need a quick sale?

Thanks for the comments guys The figures mentioned haven't been a million miles from what I was hoping for, so at least it's confirmed there are people out there who put a similar value on it to me.

I might actually contact Minimag as I previously had my Almond Green Mk1 featured a few years back and that ended up in a sale (regretfully, hence me building this one!)

I'm still undecided but if I do sell it'll be lock stock and barrel. I no longer have the time or space to tinker so if this one goes it'll be sold with a shed load of spares, which I think will make it good value to the buyer and stop me from having ideas about trying to do another (in my now tiny garage) in the future!
