From the seller: “1977 Mini Clubman 1100 in Harvest Gold – Project – Spares / Repair
This Mini Clubman 1100 was a 1 lady owner car from new, until she then passed away in May 1989 & it was passed onto the daughter (same family from new). The car was in continual use up until 6 or 7 years ago when the owner decided to tackle some corrosion on the passenger side front wing, of course the job was started but never finished – the car has been stood outside since. Despite its sorry state the car is very original, still retaining all the original interior, body numbers / ID tags. There is also an extensive history with the car, countless old MOT certificates, original handbook & BMC passport with service stamps & a folder full of old service invoices.
With this history, mileage & the fact it’s effectively 1 owner, in my opinion this mini is too good to scrap / break, however any potential bidders need to be aware this is a full restoration & not for the faint hearted, it’s certainly not something that will be done in a few weekends. As a bodyshop we’ve certainly seen worse – but this is pretty much as major as they come. Some would argue it needs a shell, it is salvageable but it will need hours of work putting in & the majority of the panels including floors will need replacing.”

This VW Type 3 Squareback auction result left us wondering whether somebody had just bagged themselves a rather interesting old Volkswagen. The 1972 Squareback went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions with a £4,000-£6,000 estimate. The bidding ticked along, but eventually everybody stopped. And they stopped before reaching the bottom of the guide. So […]
This Ford Escort 1600 Sport auction result gave us one of the most entertaining bidding battles we’ve filmed for a while. Before the 1979 Mk2 Escort went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions, we took a closer look at the car and asked UK Barn Finds followers to predict what it would sell for. […]
This Ford Capri auction result is an interesting indication of just how much enthusiasm remains for early Mk1 Capris. The 1970 Ford Capri 1600 GT XLR certainly wasn’t presented as a pristine example when it went under the hammer at Anglia Car Auctions. It was scruffy, needed restoration or recommissioning, came with no history and […]
