Oooooooooooooh, that's nasty

Oh dear, the old wolfrace wheels are the only bits worth having.
Did Leepu and Bernie make that?? Looks good compared to most of their $hite!! 
Edit - its got a brand new chassis........... so who's going to message the guy asking him how he thinks it will do at the IVA test?? LOL

ooh i hope my pickup looks as good as that when its done ha ha ha
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)

Well, I can understand why he wants to sell it!
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

This would suggest an IVA is needed!
NOT
Why would you bid?
Unless you bid an acceptable amount (surely its an auction?) you get named and shamed as a skinflint scumbag
bargepole hidden away
for some reason, the only fools and horses trigger's brush scene came into my head.

It looks genuine to me, the doors and front screen are Mini items so it should retain the identity

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.
