I had to move some of the cars around at my mums and moved my 1965 Mini Traveller for the first time in around 10 years.

 

Amazingly when I pumped up the tyres it rolled really well.

 

Body wise its in good condition, it has one original sill and one oversill, its going to need restoration but its not a basket case by any stretch of the imagination.

 

Whilst I have always wanted to do this car a lack of storage and the cost of moving house made me wonder if I should consider selling.

 

Whats a restoration project worth these days (its a smooth roof model).

Well I have a 62 smooth roof which is whilst not perfect pretty good? So I would say based on the pics provided valuation for me is for me about £5000

I would say around £6,000 so long as all the trim is present and the engine & body numbers match.

It is a 1965 Essex registered car.

Thanks guys, thats a fair bit more than I was expecting people to say but I guess unmolested MK1's are rare these days.  I'm a bit torn so I need to have a think about what to do.

 

I'm kicking myself for selling a 39K Miles mini 850 Auto MK1 for 2K back in 2011, it was road worthy and had all the MOT's from new and had been owned by the same person since 1971.
