Up for sale with probable regret is my 1981 B18 Austin Mini Clubman Estate. I am selling due to it not getting the attention it deserves anymore and I fancy a change away from the Mini scene! (Plan on getting a kit car). I bought this car just over four years ago with a standard 998 in it. In early 2013 it had a new right A Panel, Sill and part of the Floor replaced by Mini Division in Stockport. I completed the Honda B18 conversion over the year after I got it back. Before me the Mini was owned for 7 years by a guy off Turbo Minis who did a lot of work on it before I bought it off him. I believe he bought it totally standard of an old guy who had owned it for quite a while (good history from the prior owners). It has always been stored underneath a car port, very very, very rarely driven in the wet and I have never driven it over winter while grit has been on the road. Please note, this is not a show car, so please don’t expect to a perfect car. The paint is what lets it down a bit, all though it’s not terrible. It was featured in Retro Cars Magazine Prior to me owning, I have this magazine to go with the car.

I would like £6500 ono, but gauging interest as not quite sure what it’s worth. I am in no rush to sell so no silly offers, I won’t sell if I am going to lose too much money. No test drives, I am happy to take very serious buyers out in it locally
