green is monthly, but yellow matters?

Frank - send a pm to russlcv (Russell Harvey). He is the editor of Minor Monthly so should be able to help.

That green one on carandclassic is lovely

the green one has been at a couple of custom shows we have been at it is as said anything but normal but its finish is first class its not till you hear it start that you realise its got the V8 cant understand why you would build something so good and then sell it

I love the 'factory' look he's given it. How much is he after for it?

Post by **Sidney'61** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 9:28 pm

Yes I love that green one for sale.
He say's he's open to sensible offers but I really have no idea what a sensible offer would be on a car like that! I'm now trying to convince my mum to get rid of her Citreon!

I have it in my head its was around £6500 but dont quote me on it

Post by **tonym911** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 9:35 pm

Yes I've got a feeling I've seen it somewhere else too, at about that! How weird. Just had a quick look around the usual suspect sites but can't find it just yet. Love those artillery style wheels! Bit like an old Ford E93A gone mad.

That's my mates old minor - I did advertise it on here about 3 years ago for £4.5 k with no takers. I'd say it is one of the nicest around as my mate tried to make it as standard looking as possible (It's my old Merc 190 wheels on it).
He didn't build it, but put his mark on it.
I've got loads of pics, plus several video clips of it in action. It wasn't quite as quick as mine up the strip as it's a manual, but has a high top speed.

I've loved that green V8 Minor ever since I first saw it years ago. If I won the lottery, that would honestly be my first buy

Looks so right on the road, what a shame nobody at BMC thought to nick the V8 from Rover and actually make this as a production car. Is that your one in the lead? Fab twosome.
