The junk people sell

And Jack said I was bringing one back from the dead.
Bugeye rot
I'm surprised people bid on it.

In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if that made £300. To find one still in (barely) one piece in one of the worst countries for rust in the world AND has a V5 with a neat number plate, is worth something.
Alright, maybe £150.

Baz makes a good point, and at least the seller was honest enough to admit that it was probably good for salvagable bits and pieces. It is pretty bad, but I've seen worse with wilder claims over here!!!

 

[John Moore]

wow! That makes me feel much, much better about mine!

The way steel prices are you could probably make a few bucks flipping it for scrap metal.

I can't see what the fuss is all about - mine was as bad as that.

I think it is a job for spritenuts english vacation.

Hey the current bid is about right...you may be able to get a couple of body parts off it...that is if the trunk lid isn't full of bondo!!! Hate to see any of them bite the dust...but that's what makes ours worth the restore!

BTW: I'm showing off my new adoption like a proud PAPA... seller cut me a GREAT deal!!! Don't know what I'm gonna do with it but he sure is cute. Hope my BABES don't bully him!!!

well, it's a VIN number, I suppose.

Cool Minor! They were popular on the west coast. I have seen two in the WDC area and about 5 in Denmark.

 

[jlaird]

I bet those would save the delivery folks a bit at the pumps.

That Bugeye hulk went for 421 GBP, or $847.01!!

There's a pic here of a Minor Van with a Rover V8V8 Minor
I saw this at a show yesterday - looks very standard unless you look under the bonnet!

More photos here , although I can't view them from work, so I don't know if they are still there.

[Steve]

"Rough-ish"......maybe he meant "Rubb-ish"and merely mis-spelled the word?
