I talked to a guy yesterday who has a boat load of old Mini parts and needs to get rid of them. There are boxes of gauges, carbs, shifter housings, hoses and even a block and a couple of cranks. I said I'd ask around. Not sure what he wants for the lot but he said it would be cheap. Keep in mind this is a guy who thinks a small block Ford engine of unknown origin and condition with a correct GT-40 intake and 4 Webers is worth $9000
If the price was right I'd take it all and eBay it but I don't have the time.
