Due to the fact Im now going to be a dad, due in september :mrgreen: over the foookig moon :P

This means the mini collection is to go not just for money but also space and time of which ill have none soon enough, so i have a 79 clubby estate to go, a fully caged ad lightend race shell, quite sold 87 city and then offcourse this Midas, ideally needing to be gone this week

The car for sale is 83 A reg Midas Bronze coupe

1) An interior of sort
2) A pair of rear quarter windows
3) A bonnet
4) A tailgate which from what i lead to believe is single construction of a piece of glass with lift ram attachments, again im thinking of making out of Perspex, this time industrial Polished stuff about 10mm thick for rigidity around the seals
5) A pair of bumpers
6) A carb which IF i keep the A series in there i can source a carb easy enough, i have a HIF38 sitting somewhere :?

its straight and true and all pretty original, only two fibre cracks noticed the rest is just gel coat age/heat cracking


2 problems that we noticed upon checking it at service station on way back

1) the rear wheels are bolted up against the rear shocks, the bodging monky who owned it before was convinced it was hard to roll "as the brakes have rusted due to been standing" , yeah right....

Image


It was parked up next to my phase 1 and covered untill i had more time.... its been there ever since unfortunately :(

Image


After Many helpfull emails on here from a few people i got offered a pair of door shells from the main man himself for a perfect price :D so off i went to blackpool to collect them

so it has these with it which are gettig quite rare if almost non existent now

then another part it needed which is quite a rare part from what ive seen - a Fiat 126 windscreen so it has this aswell.

I also have for sale at extra, Denim Blue full leather Audi TT front seats AND the rear seats which i think could be made to fit quite nice in the rear, also have the front doorcards and 2M of Alcantara brought to do the headlining etc in

im gonna advertise the midas on here for a few days as i dont want to turn it into an ebay car, its a straight, propper reg example and with someone with the time and patience i dont imagine it would be that hard to do so if interested, contact me on here or call or txt 07595 155 623

I want a reasonable price... but im not sure what that is these days???? its a propper reg, not Q reg which i know from experience makes it easier to insure for a start

congrates on the forth coming bubs. What sort of price would you like for the midas?
Also, what sort of price are you looking for the '79 clubman estate?

I'm after £350 Ono for the midas... It owes me more than that obviously and I think at that it's a great starter project for someone, watched 4 on bay and they've all been £430+++

Clubby estate is a pure restoration project but service history since 79 an 5 owners from new IIRC. I'm after £275 for that as the "logbook" and plates are worth that to the right dodgy person. Lol

Thanks.

Wayne

I could be tempted for the Bronze if not for the distance.
