Some circumstances have come up. No way in hell i want to sell this car but its either this or my mini :(

Very hard to value i guess as its not very original. Is a 1998 VVC car base.

Spec. (possibly a fair bit missed cant think of all)

Body..

mk1 bonnet with Rover sport 3 tooth grill
Deep gloss black front roof
welded in rear brace under car
mini side blue indicator lights
battery to boot
Citroen washer jets
de wiper rear


Suspension..

Team dynamic pro race 3 wheels all mint
Yokohama prada 2 tires 215/40/17
Poly bushed around 50%.
Gmax struts with Pi lowering springs
skunk LCA alloy rear arms
rear upper strut brace
OMP front strut brace
Power coated arb bars and some other bits
D1 spec alloy wheel nuts with steel locking nuts

Brakes..

brembodge front 324mm brakes
ZS180 rear brakes
braided brake lines.

Interior..

Full fdh cream leather excellent condition no wear, rips etc
MGF leather steering wheel
Brm alloy gear knob
Brm heater control panel (not in pics above is silver )
newish leather gear gaiter
Sony head unit not very old. all ipad controls, usb etc 4x50w
Decent amp in boot not sure of make. 4 way control
2x10 inch speakers in parcel tray on amp JBL good ones
other original speakers all upgraded to sony ones
Custom dash but very good finish with 3 pod in middle
AEM wideband all connected and working
Oil pressure gauge all working (is black different to above)
Volts gauge all working (is black different to above)
Have fitted some black VVC clocks in car with 60 odd thousand miles match KV6 engine mileage all working)
VIS light indicator lights all working very useful


Engine..

Kv6 180 engine 60k
All done about 2 thousand miles ago (new belts, Platinum plugs, alloy propeller water pump, flushed and fully synthetic oil)
Manacore Ht leads
Ap clutch
Removed aircon
Reworked exhaust manifolds better than original setup
No cat
Itg air filter
New VIS motors fitted about 500 miles ago and cleaned out inlet manifold
catch tank
T16 oil cooler front mounted with proper AN stainless pipping
Kv6 Pg1 gearbox all checked other with a Type B lsd.
New drive shafts
Poly bushed engine stablisher ZS180
New T16 turbo rad
Variable speed Fan wired properly to ECU.
exhaust is all stock zs180 now so pretty quite and civerlised. sounds like a decated one! (can include a 2.5 performance one)

Possibly missed stuff :?

Everything works on the car. Has 2 spare keys and fobs.
10 months tax and MOT
Body is clean and underneath is same.
Drives like a ZS 180 but much more responsive and sounds great.
Would confidently drive this to Nurburgring tomorrow there and back reliability wise :thumbup:

Bads points.

The drivers door has a rust spot under the paint about 3mm wide. (not surface)
Roofs panels are alittle noisy over bumps, rubbers need lubing?

Not sure how its valued as lots of mods. Hopefully a forum member would be interested in car and don't want to break it.
Any ideas?

Unique is hard to value but gotta be worth as much as a decent coupe turbo,I'm swaying to 1800+ it's a very well presented motor clean an looks the part.

I'd be gutted to get rid :(
