He is looking at selling it now.

And I for one will be sad to see it go out of Tony's hands, but hope the person who picks it up (for a song mind you!) will complete it and use it to its full potential.

Hi Everyone,

Barbie has now been sold!

We had overwhelming interest in the car, but it was a case of first in best dressed!

Congratulations to the successful buyer and thanks to everyone for their nice towards regarding the car.

Cheers,
Tricky

Hi Simon,

Havent released the buyers ID, as he didnt specirfically say it was OK to do so.

He can, as always, identify himself on this thread if he so chooses. I think we will find out soon enough anyway, the car is very individual!

Ludicrously cheap. Whoever scored it has done just that, scored. Geniunely sad to see it go.

It's been almost a year since Barbie was sold. Any chance of finding out the status of the build with the new owner (whoever that is)?

I had the cash available but couldn't convince my wife within the 6 days that it got sold :(

We are in the same boat now Joe ... battling away on our own ... from scratch :D

Hi All,

She got sold to a young lad down in Adelaide of all places.

I had brief contact with the gent after he bought it, as he had a few questions about what was needd to finish the conversion etc.

I have had no contact with him since abou June last year!! :shock:

I would like to see how he has gone with it too, just for interests sake. That was the best Mini shell I had ever seen!!

Mate, if you're out there - send us a message to let u all know how yu got on!!

Cheers,
Tricky
