The mini is such a commonplace car in all its manifestations that if it was restored (or rather 're-created' as it can't be 'restored' as such) it would be just another mini. As it is, it has a unique and interesting tale to tell if left in its present condition. I don't doubt that there are those with the skills and inclination to use it as a basis to create what to all intents and purposes would be a pristine 'new' mini from it, but it wouldn't be that one - there's so little of it left. No engine/gearbox/ transmission, steering, brake system, interior trim, electrics, upholstery. Basically, a shell which is a heap of rusting scrap from a period in which the only time that the UK car industry made any money (or rather didn't lose as much) was Sunday when the factories shut (if they weren't already on strike). In numbers, it may have been the highest volume car sold, but in money terms, it was little more than a job creation scheme.
Someone will buy it. £8k - £10k would be my guess.
