Going to look at a mk1 local to me on Saturday.

whats the going rate at the mo for tidy on the road mk1's?

could do with a paint but is very solid, i.e just chips ect spoiling it.

Dont want to give too much away at the moment. however it has minilites and a man od box, and is a lovely blue.

[CAR]

Man o/d mk1 in nice condition with minilites has to be worth £2k+ nowadays, the days of good cheap mk1s are long gone mike

So it post lift?.
If solid and mot'd etc I would say £1800ish due to requiring paint cosmetics.

If it was mint then they can be upto £3k and more.....................the MK1's are going up

As it got Shadow Blue interior?

It not a guy called Matt selling it is it or Arron?

Only ask as I know two guys selling to MK1 Dark Blue Mk1's.

PS glad see you getting a MK1........ keep us updated.............pics?.

it has a light blue leather interior. Until I go and have a proper dig round it not sure how nice it is, sounds good over the phone and I have seen it around town occaisionally.

i do know that its a 68, it had a long period in a barn from about 1986, the previous owner was an elderly gentleman, its still running points, carbs need a rebuild as idles a bit off, rear seats never been sat in, its had new brake lines throughout, minilites. Cant remember mileage, wasnt high though. It had cills in 1978 when it also had a respray. more recently it has had n/s sill end inner and outer. prop u/j, and a few other things that I cant remember.

I honestly dont know the sellers first name.


Anybody interested in a tidy Supra?

Colin.

I disagree partly, forinstance theres a mk1 on the site here for £1600.

And fleBay suggests 12-1500 for ok roadgoing cars, rising with condition, in fact mk2's are starting to fetch good money, at least in the adverts!

Colin is right I am afraid!

I think I know the car that you are going to see .................bloke is Matt think he also into Mini's and I have spoken with him.

If it is same car me and my mate went to look at it in the barn at Leicstershire and it did need sill work but think the present owner as sorted this out. He is in the trade I believe and was moving up Scotland to go work for a Classic Car Restorer.
It did have a pump up towing system on it to and was originally for sale on CARANDCLASSIC Web stite.
Obviousily we didn't buy it due to work required but if it same car at least he as got it back on the road...........
If it helps think he was expecting about £2k for what it owes him but when I spoke with him Oct/Nov last year I said probably worth £1800ish.

cheers Lee.

Sounds like the one mate.

TBH i think it may be more cash than I wanted to part with, but I am reserving judgement.

he did mention the pump up towing system and I knwo through a freind he is in to his minis.

Frankly I think my mate wants me to go and look just so he can come along and have a butchers at his mini!

Well check it over thoroughly.........

Interior was good but it had been stood for a long time and fuel system blocked.

Let us know and you can qoute my name if wish.
