Didn't know what it was until post no 9.
Prob best to buy a copy of Max Power or similar and look at their ads and try to get an idea from that?

Jer

A bit harsh. It's not my cup of tea but everything that has been done looks like its been done well. What engine is in it.

God, you lot are so bitchy, its perhaps a little over the top for us (aging) arbiters of good taste but like has been said, its been done well, it looks well looked after and there are perhaps more young lads after stuff like that than you give it credit for.

What model was it originally ?

Eh? no ones being bitchy just airing their opinions on the look of his motor.

zip106

A 1981 Mini 850.

It's just had a 'bit' of fibreglass added.

I think you definitely need to target an audience.

Your best chance of getting a sale is from someone who likes that kind of styling, so your Max Power boyz/galz etc....its such a specialist car that joe public and dealers are going to run a mile away from it.

Good luck with the sale

what would scooby do

To be honest the scrappies are giving good money these days

davegtt

Only a young lad would buy it IMO and the fact that banks aint giving many loans out at the minute means you'll struggle to find a buyer at a decent price you'd be happy with.

it was my first car, and was influenced quite a bit by friends and got into the modifying scene. i know i'm not gonna get my money back, but kitting her up was quite a joy at the time.
obviously now i'm more into performance hence i got the scooby
it started life as a black clio 1.2 16v dynamique, always get people asking me what it is lol

it's been advertised for 3.5k which i think is fair considering that it's still a show car

I would think £2k is top whack for a 52 reg 1.2.

Convert the car back to standard and ebay the mods. You will probably make more.

^^^^^

i wish it was that easy, probably would cost me more to put it back to standard as everything is custom fitted

Wiley, Seriously mate, 3.5k is too high, like other people have said think you will struggle to get 1.5k for it. There is only going to be a tiny market for it because of the mods. But good luck anyway

skinters

Good mechanical tasteful mods you might get a little fraction of the money back.

Bodywork mods that are non-standard almost certainly reduce the market price.

Looking at this car you have a microscopic market of spotty yoofs who might be vaguely interested but have no money.

For £3500 you can have a Clio Cup of the same age ffs!

hopefully some young chaps who has just passed their driving test will be interested as it's cheap for insurance

Hello direct line I would like to insure my Clio please.
Test? Yes past it last week.
No claims discount? Nope none.
Its a 1.2 yes, value? hard to say really....Loads, looks well sick!
Any Mods? Wellllll one or two....
*CLICK*
hello???



Not sure what the story is these days, but I had all on insuring a standard 1.1 fiesta when I passed my test.

skinters

If you declare all mods on that car I suspect the insurance won't be far off a standard Clio Cup either. It definetly looks a lot more flammable than a normal car

wiley

oit!!
with all the mods i remember only paying another £150 on top. this was with adrian flux who are good for modified cars

wiley

Dedrater

Why dont you just keep it? you have spent all that time and money on it, what you going to do with a grand? I would stick it in the garage and look at it every few months.

wiley

already thought of that, gonna cost me money to rent a garage. plus i need the money for a re-map at jollygreenmonster.
also i just bought a k&n typhoon, sti top mount, afterburner cat pipe and a ninja downpipe, so need the money soon

and a walbro upgraded full pump too
my loan is gone lol
wiley

lee-swindon

so whats the plan? ebay??

logiclee

For trade it's worth less than £1k if you could find anyone to take it.

Private? Need to find the right buyer but it's a 6 year old 1.2 Clio with mods so I would think around £1500-£1750 if very lucky.

Cheers

I would stick it in the max power, it looks like you have spent time and money on the car so aim for the young new driver who will pay abit more for a car out of the fast and the furious.

GlesgaKiss

I actually think you might be able to sell that for 3.5k. There's plenty of young guys that would pay that for a car that looks like yours, and I would say it's fairly priced.

Alot of the opinions on here will be older guys that don't have any interest in bodykits etc. Not my cup of tea now, but just after I passed my driving test at 17, I would have loved something like that . The only problem I suppose, would be insurance for someone of that age with all the modifications that have been done. My first car was a £600 R reg clio which was totally standard(except for the alloys I didn't declare ), and it cost £1250 to insure TPFT!!!

got a guy who is coming to have a look at it tomorrow, sounds like a young chap who has just passed his test lol
