Really, when I view the eBay ad I still see $9995. No matter. Very nice car, but would be a great car when the kinks are worked out. Depending on the drivability issues, it may be pretty simple to get running well. My guess is that down-draft carb needs to be binned and replaced with proper Mini gear. My guess is the carb and wheels/tires would be $2k + tuning. Not bad ...

I like it _way_ better with the red wheels. BTW, I replaced my rear subframe last year - it's a big job but well worth the effort. The new subframe, getting it powder-coated, and installing new trunnion hardware was over $600. That of course didn't include labor costs since I did the work in my garage. Keep that in mind if you pursue this car.

That's what I am thinking...especially if it is a real S. My guess is over $20,000
