Classic Mini Chelsea 998cc, low insurance 5 mths tax and full mot in Roath, Cardiff for sale

Cars

Classic Mini Chelsea 1987 Selling as I am going travelling soon and need to raise some funds, Originally was red but had a full respray 5 years ago, now black. MOT is being carried out now I guarantee a pass before sale. Tax expires Nov. 2013 A huge service history including all recent work carried out Manual transmission 85599 miles on clock. Log book present. The car is not in perfect condition, spots of rust in the roof guttering are clear and the passenger side door also (see pictures). Structurally though the car is fairly solid (for a mini). 3 new tyres this year and have travelled less than 1000miles. (spare wheel included) 13" alloys in average condition. (Some kurbside scratches) Miglia style arches (oversized in my opinion) CD player fitted with rear speakers, (USB and aux connections) Front recaro bucket seats and standard rear seats. Customized dash and door cards white and black leather. No leaks from engine and runs well. Engine is standard a-series stage one kit rc40 exhaust adjusted needle with hif 38 carb. recently replaced leads, sparks, ignition barrel and steering lock (2 keys) and alternator. I would advise coming to have a look and test drive before buying unless being bought as a restore project. Current problems -speedometer not working (mot should require this fixed) -Radiator overflow damaged and due to this when driven for long periods water bleeds into the bay. Due to this the radiator does require fairly regular filling (5/6 times a year) but this is not particularly difficult to get replaced. -Due to an idiot reversing into the front the front panel is not flush with the bonnet when shutting. (No serious issue and not noticeable unless bonnet is up hence not replaced) -doors are now starting to sit slightly off (very common) and this is not particularly noticeable. -rear drivers side arch damaged again due to an idiot driver collision. I am available for viewing most days as I work sporadically. I will not part exchange as I am selling to raise funds for traveling. This is an ideal car for a young driver ( previous year of insurance has been £320 and I am 21 with only 1 year of license declaring modifications too). Also fun to learn to tinker with. I had no idea about cars before buying this mini and although i am no expert I am a lot more confident. (mostly thanks to the extensive online community of mini enthusiasts). Although price is negotiable I know how much I need to travel and so will not be ripped off. I will still go traveling without selling if I do not get a sensible price for it.
