*DETAILED PICTURES HERE: "TaylorMadeClassicCars" dot com, on the world wide web NO TITLE, BILL OF SALE ONLY. 1960’s (Oct ’69 – Apr ’76) Morris Mini Mk II panel van, right hand drive, engine RUNS good, temporarily hot-wired to hear it run, good compression in all cylinders. Car needs total restoration. Needs all hydraulics rebuilt (clutch, brakes, etc.). Has hinged fiberglass front bonnet, spare, jack and tools in pouch. E-brake holds, car rolls freely. Stainless braided brake lines, has sun visors. I’m not a Mini expert and cannot determine actual year or Vehicle Identification Number. The car bears the following numbers: Engine block plate number: # SAM U H 592454 Radiator shroud plate number: # FE1598548 (not certain about the “F”) Body/Chassis stamped number: # SABTTVR0357936061 (not certain since a couple numbers appear damaged)? This stamp was on left side engine area support brace on inner fender. See pictures of all number plates.About the VIN... Apparently when the front fiberglass bonnet was installed, the front metal section was removed. That is the panel section that would normally hold the rivited VIN tag. I don't have that removed VIN tag or the old front panel. There is also some suggestion that this Mini is older than suggested and may actually be a MkII since it has sliding windows rather than roll up windows. Additionally, as for the history, I got this Mini from an estate. The owner that died has a Bill of Sale from the previous owner, which I have, however it is pretty worthless since it only has their names and refers to a "Mini in primer" with no reference to VIN or other pertinent identifying features. As such, I will remind bidders that you are responsible to ascertain DMV requirements in your home state to see if you can register and/or title the Mini for your use with simply a bill of sale and reference to one of the number tags (engine, body, rad shell, or other) it is showing. Otherwise consider it a parts car or a "constructed" car such as a custom or show car platform. The rare panel van body and a running engine should easily be worth the investment. Candidate for total restoration, custom car on your chassis, rat-rod, or parts. Registering and titling this car may be difficult or impossible in some states. Be sure to check with your local DMV on these requirements and regulations. Car has RUST ! Don't be misguided by the pretty pictures alone. I have detailed "ugly" pictures showing extent of rust on sills/rockers/floor on my website. Be sure to closely examine all pictures "BEFORE YOU BUY"! Previous rust repair is evident. Patch panels on A-pillar behind front wheels both sides. Some rust on rear floor and sills (see pictures). Overall fairly solid and structurally sound. Has “2001 London to Brighton Run” sticker on rear window, so possibly participated? Please remember that this is an "antique" vehicle about 40 years old. Car is available for pre-bid inspection and I would always encourage and welcome this. I am proud of my 100% excellent feedback score and always strive to give accurate and detailed descriptions so that there are no disappointments from the buyer. Please ask questions if you have doubts or concerns about anything! Those with less than five (5) or negative feedback history do NOT bid unless you contact me and communicate first, otherwise your bids will be retracted and bidder banned from further bidding. The winning bid is NOT a right of first refusal, but a commitment to purchase the vehicle regardless of anything, so a non-refundable deposit via PayPal is required when using the "Buy it Now" feature, or within 24 hours of auction ending and arrangements to be made for pickup of item. Vehicle is listed "for sale" by other venues and media, so I reserve the right to terminate the listing at any time. *DETAILED PICTURES HERE: "TaylorMadeClassicCars" dot com, on the world wide webNO TITLE, BILL OF SALE ONLY.
