There is not enough detail in those pictures to justify buying a car from, engine bay shots needed

I dont like the deseaming you dont know if its been done well under the filler

That's a post 76 round nose shell - no drip rails. Ringer. Buyer beware.

Wouldn't get too precious about it being reshelled. Just value it accordingly as its not a GT. Minis have been reshelled since the early sixties and nobody ever minded.

If the engine is in the boot and and it's all completely solid, I'd personally pay £1200 ABSOLUTE MAX for that.

I would have agreed if it had been reshelled with a clubby front, the danger here is if it gets stopped and the police or vosa know minis and know it should have a clubby front its going to be very hard to prove its not a ringer and in that case the car will be removed to an impound and possibly scrapped

could have been welded on as a roundnose
but most likely stuck on for the tax free status

especially as pointed out, its a later shell!

I personally think a reshelled mini is no issue. But this is not a reshelled mini. It's one mini with a different logbook.

The fact that it is neither the correct age or shape is a big give away. this has been done to get free road tax, no other reason.

It would be worth more in my eyes on the original V5.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph
