 As with all dreams, some have to end, and unfortunately I NEED A BIGGER CAR! or at least one with some back seats and more legroom, so it is with a heavy heart that I am selling CYRIL! He is on ebay at the moment, mainly because he has had so much interest that I thought I'd give everyone a chance to try and get him. I have tried to be as honest as I can with the ebay stuff, and the info is as close to what I know or have been told. All the Info is on there, and the fact he has done the Coyote rally, and came back home in one piece! I Am looking for another Mini, but preferably clubman estate style... Mr Kinsman, you wouldn't know of any? As cheap as possible, with whatever bodywork, more preferably with MOT AND TAX! Even better would be anything which is tax exempt! (Honda project coming up...) Cheers! Alex Anyways, heres the Linky. cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130305690409 Cheers! Or if that doesn't work here's the item number! 130305690409 Cheers!

Ah yes hello!  Yeah I'm amazed too, and its still going up, I have been offered a few PX's for it, including a Rhonda (Rover 216 Coupe 1995 honda engine) plus cash, and more recently believe it or not a BMW Mini 2001, which even though I'm not a fan, could be a nice money maker depending on cash flowness. But in any case I have bought myself another proper mini!!! His name is Mikey,  and is a Mini 25, with a huge sunroof!  Not electric, but a classic push back canvas thingy, Genuine Mileage 52000, Bits of surface rust here n there but still nothing really that you could shake your fist at. , 10 months MOT, with new rear subframe, and a few other things. Total, a grand, 1000,  which you can't complain about, its extremely tidy it has to be said. and.... (the interesting part) The chap i bought it off has a 1974 Mini Innocenti (Now the boffs go, mini innocentis stopped in 1971/72) ah but this is an import... extremely solid, only minor surface rust on drivers door sill, and the front suspension is a lil pfft... but has said if he sells it, I'll be first to know!! Woop Woop! Anyways, Cyril is now at 908.88 and I would guess still rising. So we shall see what he goes for in the end!! Alex ;D |

As some of you may or may not, my Mum sold Cyril to Alex. Cyril was a lovely standard mini who had been well looked after and was sold to Alex who promised my Mum he would look after him and keep him original as that was his beauty.
Well my Mum has seen the state of him now and is absolutely devastated. She regrets ever selling you the car she loved for over 10 years and thinks you are a total liar.
I hope you are happy, and I really hope that Cyril goes to someone that will take all that crap off him and love him like he deserves.

Well I guess a 99.9% positivity towards Cyril isn't bad, The fact is he was make to look how I wanted him to, and If I had kept him as was, I'd have never got anywhere in him, I've had to replace so much on him to get him to where he is now that it let me learn what I could do on a mini.
He was going to have to be a project car from day 1, it was suprising how much needed replacing, and I'm not trying to be the bad guy, but I've had the other 2 previous owners to Cyril before your mum contact me over the 2 and a half years who have said how brilliant he now looks, as well as countless people across Europe who stopped to ask if it was ok to take pictures!
Can't we just let this all blow over and let it go...

You really are a liar then as we all heard you tell my Mum you would look after him and keep him original. If she had known it was a project car she would NEVER have sold him to you.
Oh well, you can get on and ruin your next car now...and that's my final thought.
