I've had a better look at the pics this time round......
doesn't that look like a scimitar chassis, axles and suspension ?
add to that its got an engine, box and wheels that were all common on scimitars
also my Scimitar GTE just says 'Estate' as the model on the 5v
so I think its a scimitar with a body swap :lol:
(which means its probably never had and SVA/IVA)

If it didn't have such a rubbish engine and the wrong type of chassis and if was correctly registered it might make a useful donor.
maybe the axle is a handy replacement for someone and there might be a few parts that someone might be able to use like the mini doors.
On the whole though its just a pile of scrap metal IMHO

Pretty sure thats not a Scimitar - the front suspension doesn't look quite like a Scimitars - more like a cortinas. The back axle would have a
Watts Linkage if it was a scimitar too. the wheels are different widths which wasn't a scimitar thing.
No I'm sure it really is just a scrapper

I should have said a scimitar with bits missing
my scimitar has different wheel widths (its wheel have been changed in the 70's I think)
I could be wrong though - I'll have a look underneth mine at the weekend.....
but what ever its made of - its definatly just a mobile scrap pile

If it's based on a scimitar (or any other car) ladderframe chassis it didn't (and doesn't) need one.

It looks genuine to me, the doors and front screen are Mini items so it should retain the identity NOT
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Why would you bid?
Unless you bid an acceptable amount (surely its an auction?) you get named and shamed as a skinflint scumbag

If the chassis has been modified in any way, it would need S/IVA.
I dont know much about mini's but i do know they are front wheel drive so a fair amount of chassis work must have gone into that to make it rear
wheel drive.
