1992 ROVER MINI SPRITE RED

Please note the removal of the buy it now option : I have been offered £1000 for the car through another website, but the pick-up can't happen for two weeks - I am therefore leaving this listing on ebay to get a similar price - please feel free to contact me with any offers/questions before the auction ends next sunday. I have 40 people watching on ebay so I think she'll go pretty quickly.

This wonderful mini sprite 1275 has taken me through 8 years of driving.

A fantastic project for a mini fan. Engine in great condition, body needs work.

Unfortunately we have to move up to a bigger car and I have to sell my first ever car.

Starts first time every time.

Bucket seat on driver's side but I have the original.

4 alloys

I will have to arrange specific days to view as the car is now in my parent's garage.

We have put in a new starter motor, alternator, spark plugs + leads, fuses and fan belt in the last 8 months, and had some considerable welding done for the last MOT a year ago.

All in all she's a great project for an enthusiast.

The MOT is on until 12/11/09 and tax until the end of November, but having put the car through an MOT this month and failed, I can state exactly what needs doing. (below)

I ask for a £100 deposit on paypal and the balance in cash on collection - I will not haggle once the auction ends.

Serious buyers only.

I can bring the car to anywhere in South East/West or you can pick it up from London or Newbury.

I have a reserve of £800 as that is what I have been offered by my garage, but I'd rather she went to a loving home direct.

We were quoted £800 for all the work, but I'm sure you can get a better quote if you shop around.

I am advertising elsewhere and have a few garages interested so I reserve the right to pull this auction.

Please feel free to call me with any questions, I am more than happy to help: 07908125415
