hey guys i just wanted to know what the value of my car would be. it's a 1970 morris mini cooper, 30 k original miles, 4 speed, new paint, good strong running car, all window sills and areas like that cleaned up and replaced... any ideas? no i'm not selling it. i love it lol, but i was just wondering...

my car

 

anyone?

 

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



bumpity bump

 

... lol c'mon guy s, it's been bugging me all day

 

This would be really difficult to put a value on this Mini without seeing it first. From your information it appears to be a MK3. What engine size is in the Mini? And how original is it?

 

Well seeing that it is considered an antique it's gotta bring a decent price. Sorry, I've searched the net and couldn't find anything. Not to sell youshort, but I see a few here in Germany selling but not in very good snape but the go anywhere from $3000.00 to $10,000.00.

 

hmm

 

i have a link at the top of the thread w/ pictures, the engine size is the 1100 cc engine...

 

Everyone hesitates to place a "value" on someone else's car (unless its for sale) for fear of insulting them or hurting their feelings. After all, many of us end up with more into them than they are truly "worth". But that's okay, as long as we personally are "happy" with our car. The money doesn't matter then.

That said, I would think a 70 Mini 1100cc as pictured would be worth between $5,500 to $6,500 USD depending on its true condition, imo. At least that's the range I'd view your car which appears to be a fairly stock Mini. It'd command more if it were a real Cooper S (or were a clone look-a-like with badging, accessories, interior etc), or had a 1275, Minilites, or other special features.

Its a spiffy Mini and I like the white/black combo

 

it's worth what you paid for it.

 

It's worth what someone else will pay for it!

 

If you arent selling it, do it mastercard style......

New paint: $300
New Carpets and upholstery: $300
New 13 inch tires every 20k miles: $100
Your Car until you sell it: ... priceless

if you do decide to sell it lemme know. Ive been lookin for a white one for a while so that I can tweak it to match my PW/B 04 S

 

Actually, now that I read the description of it thats EXACTLY what I am looking for.... you sure you dont want to sell it?

 

I think you should sell it to me for $500.00 US.


Anyway, Ive seen you ask this question in here a few times so, Ill try to answer. First of all, who knows? You might find out that someones been looking for your exact car and is willing to pay $20,000.00 for it. Its unlikely but it could happen. The thing is, no one can tell you whats its really worth.

Now, that being said. I just bought mine. I got a 1998 Mini Cooper S Sportpack Replica and had it shipped from The Netherlands. It cost me around $11,000.00 which is a steal in the US. The car is in excellent shape. But while I was shopping I spent hundreds of hours looking at Minis from around the world and getting prices. Now one thing you gotta know is, it depends on where you are in the world. In the UK, there are many more Minis than the US so they are, generally speaking, less expensive than the US. Your car in the US would probably get between $4 and 6 thousand dollars.

Best I can do
