Mini's Farewell Shoot

[Englebert]

Rather than spamming other people's Mini threads, here are the last photos of the car. Had it detailed a few days ago prior to sale so took the opportunity to get a few shots for the PH ad.

It's been a great little car, and i've spent a lot on getting it mint. Hopefully the photos demonstrate that!

Why is it when you take photos and write the ad it suddenly seems stupid that you're selling?!

 

[Naith]

i dont think i've seen a mini looking better than that.

 

[Sipha]

Ouch that's 1 serously smart Mini you have there ! Same as Naith, not seen a better one anywhere.

How much did it go/are you selling it for, if you don't mind me asking ?

 

[Englebert]

Not put it on PH yet mate! I did do a quick ad on here for £12,500, but i'm sticking it up for £12,995 as there are a few GPs for sale that make this look good value.

 

[Sipha]

Worth every penny imo, good luck with the sale..

 

[SOHROB]

Would you be open to offers? pm me if you want.thanks

 

[Paul.]

thats a very very nice example!

 

[Englebert]

I would let it go down to what i put in the CS ad, but otherwise i'm too posh to haggle.

 

[Naith]

u seen the headlight surrounds? mate of mines just dechromed his Scooper and the change is night and day

 

[Aluco]

That looks incredible mate. Seriously, well done.

 

[Hixle]

That seriously is lovely.

What's next, Rob?

 

[ForceIndia]

Dechroming does make them look uber-mean. Shame you're selling, but I'm sure you'll end up with a nice motor soon.

 

[Christophe]

thats real nice. how come you selling? Getting a new car?

 

[ForceIndia]

Think it's to fund race car bits.

 

[Englebert]

Thanks guys! PH ad online if anyone is interested in my creative writing skills.

I want an ex-Lotus Trophy Elise. Something ready prepped for some track day action. I feel a bit rusty so want to get some practice in!

 

[Gally]

Looks great the most sorted i've seen and probably the only mini i'd consider bar the GP.

A credit to you mate.

Who detailed it?

 

[Englebert]

Rob @ Supercar Detailing...
http://www.supercardetailing.com/

Top bloke! Owns a GT3 RS too, so obviously business is healthy..lol.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Lovely car mate! Why the sale?

 

[Gally]

Lols the guy is clearly doing well, I bet he didn't miss you with his bill!

 

[Englebert]

It was free actually. It's a little protection racket i'm running.

 

[Gally]

Ah can I get in on some of that action, i'm an ankle biter!

I've never noticed that name on DW before i'll have a look and see if he has any threads.

Not bad to have built up a business portfolio like that mate, in detailing it all comes down to recomendation where top marques are concerened.

Imo anyway.

What's his gt3 like? I see a couple in his Gallery.

 

[Englebert]

Its a 996 blue on white. He doesn't use forums mate, he has quite a few celebridee clients so doesn't want to draw attention to it. He's a sort of old school word-of-mouth type of guy.

 

[Gally]

That's very cool when you think what DW has done for other detailers business'.

Nice.

 

[Englebert]

Yeah, i always struggle to see how they make money TBH. He had an absolutely mint M3 that he treated like a child. He had to sell to fund the Porker though.

 

[Nafoff]

very nice, great little cars

 

[leeds_182]

Sick ride.

I went for a little boot in my mums cooper (i know its not the same) but the build quality just put the clio to shame.

Id definately consider one if I became a woman or a hairdresser or both.

 

[The_Pirate]

Very nice, eye watering to buy at retail i gather..!

 

[jayxx83]

Awesome car there Rob. Its a shame your selling. Im sure that will go straight away.

 

[Nafoff]

i dont think i've seen a mini looking better than that.

um...

 

[young_lew]

ERGH :dead:, R56!

Your Mini is very nice Englebert, Been considering some R90's for mine.

 

[The_Pirate]

um...

Drugs, you are on them.

 

[Gally]

He likes old sheds.

 

[jayxx83]

^^ that is sex, love the stance.

 

[Nafoff]

Drugs, you are on them.

not really, just am more a tryer than follower

 

[Englebert]

ERGH :dead:, R56!

Your Mini is very nice Englebert, Been considering some R90's for mine.

I do love them. I was considering getting a tatty set and mounting the inners on wider BBS rims. A lot of expense for the sake of being different though!

 

[dom_182]

If I could afford it, I would snap your hand off. Very nice indeed.

 

[Ali]

Stunning!

 

[Englebert]

Cheers.

Just had a call and the guy is scared it will sell before he can come and see it...lol. I've sold all my cars to the first viewer so hoping i can stay on form!

[dom_182]

No doubt that will go to the first viewer.
