1.’89 Rover Mini Neon. I was driving this until October ’11 when the tax and test ran out, With an MGZS, MGZT and Rover 75 already taxed and tested I decided to leave it ‘off the road’. I have not had it tested but the previous one was fairly smooth. All original, showing it’s age a little, Scuttle OK, no serious perforations that I’m aware of. Any sensible offer considered.
2.C Reg. City. Sills probably gone, Scuttle gone in centre as is under rear screen, Interior, well….. Adjusterrides, uprated shocks, neggy bottom arms, Minilites. Offers as above.
3.Now the Jewel in the Crown!

To the best of my knowledge this is an accurate and comprehensive list. There maybe one or two items not listed and there maybe one or two items no longer present that may have gone ‘walkies’ during the move (as did my 10" minilites/tyres). When the need arises I will verify.

This last item is exactly as described, it needs putting together!!

　

A last few notes for anyone that might be interested. I will be more than willing to speak to anyone if they want to email their ‘phone number to me but………. I’m going to be sixty next weekend. I’ve been playing with Minis since I was sixteen, raced them, rallied them and more of them than my age. Therefore here are some questions that are NOT allowed:

No, I’m not taking/sending any photographs, if you want to see it then come and look at it.

No, you can’t have the mileage.

(What difference does the colour make?)

No, it won’t go straight through MOT.

No, your dad can’t drive it home tomorrow.

NO, I AM NOT SPLITTING ITEM 3 AND YOU CAN’T HAVE THE ENGINE/GEARBOX FOR FIFTY QUID!!!

I went to see Ray today and bought items 1 and 2
He is a lovely guy very friendly and full of mini knowledge
He has asked me to say i now have them two minis but the 3rd is still for sale.
There is no way he will split the parts so dont even bother asking its a job lot or not at all.

glad you've managed to add to the collection.
