Information about selling a Minor 1000

[Missingh]

Hello

Can anyone tell me how much I would look at selling a Minor 1000 model for.
All the service history is there and documents and all.
I haven't got a clue, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Price would vary depending on it's condition, whether it has an MOT, condition of interior, bodywork, chassis etc. What year is it and is it a 2 or 4 door model? If you are able to post some pictures up the people on here will be able to give you more of an idea of it's value.

Price is difficult to decide, as it varies depending on what a buyer will pay.

General guide for a saloon would be:
£600 to £1200 with MOT and in reasonable working order (brakes engine and gearbox all ok). Some rust on wings door and boot. If paint all matches, then high end of range. If paint looks poor or some doesn't match then lower end. Interior should match but some bits may be missing or worn out.
£1200 to £2000. As above but ver little rust. One rusty door or wing puts it at the lower end. To get the top end of range, floor and sills and chassis legs need to be in tidy condition (repaired properly with new panels) without untidy patches and without untidy welding. At the top end the interior should be in tidy condition with no splits in seats no missing trim panels and good carpets.
£2000 to £4000. Same as above but no rust on bodywork. Top end will have excellent paintwork with matching shiny underbonnet paint. Interior should be near perfect although some signs of age but no rips or stains. Lots of money will have been spent. Engine nicely painted and clean ancilliaries.
£4000 and upwards - these cars are likely to be show worthy with very few faults. A very original car is going to be expensive as they are rare - lots of history and previous show prizes are likely. If the car is restored to near perfect it will have a pile of bills that make your eyes water. When spending massive amounts then expect to see very little evidence of welding repairs underneath. If the restoration was done to top quality then the weld repairs shouldn't be obvious - weld repairs are not necessarilyya bad thing but it means the car got in a poor state.

Without an MOT and a price guide means little - most buyers would not be interested, and price would be negotiated based on how much the buyer thinks it's worth.

Travellers fetch higher prices than saloons.
Vans and LCV's fetch similar prices to Travellers but finding a good one under £2500 is very unlikely.

Modifications can affect price, but apart from show cars they are unlikely to bring the price down and sometimes can raise the price. (e.g. 1300 and disk brakes on a nice looking car can make it more desirable). A 'boy racer' looking Minor is unlikely to fetch higher prices as the 'typical' buyer would be put off - but not all.

Heavily modified cars - again a price guide is meaningless.

Best advice is to look for similar cars for sale on ebay - and follow them through to the end of each sale. You will quickly realise who has asked too much (no bids/reserve not reached) - and who has pitched it right with lots of bids and price ending above any set reserve. In addition to overall condition - factors like a desireable registration number, and whereabouts in the country the car is located all can have significant effect on the final price realised.

Very good price guide Ray! I may print that and keep it...
Regarding eBay, you can search on finished auctions, so you can see what items actually made, or didn't sell for.
Its found under search options down the left hand side and ts 'completed listings' and very handy for getting a feel for what things are worth.
