Hi guys,
just wanting to see if anyone in the bonsai car scene knows about this car?
Previous owners, history, work done, etc.

Appologies if this is posted in the wrong section, didn't think any of the other sections were more appropriate.

Thanks for any replies.

For that much cash get yourself something with a 1275 and discs.

$17k in receipts ? Poor guy.

so you don't think it's worth it?

It's a fair price if you can see where the $17K went and the body is in good condition.
A reasonable 1275 and discs will cost $3500 in parts alone, so to find a car with both for $8000 will mean that a lot of other things need attention.

I suppose the hardest thing for someone restoring a car is the realisation after you spent all that money that you dont have a chance in hell of getting even half what you spend back! When i tried to sell my last mini, i decided to keep it in the end because tooooo much work and money was put in to get basically nothing for it.

Dont think its worth $8k, maybe 4-5? It looks like a really clean car, very neat inside and out - but as Maxi23 said, would want discs and 1275.

not another Kerr

looks great... from 20m away, drives great... until you need the clutch and to find the next gear, stops... ok i guess but disc fronts are in a whole separate area of drivability, yes i have looked at it, go check it out all the same if your interested.
