As usual I completely forgot to mention in this video I will be giving this car a proper shakedown for a good week before it goes up for sale.as soon as it’s ready to go I’ll put it out on Instagram 👌👍

I dropped you my number on Instagram 👍

Wearing a Rattarossa T-shirt? Plot thickens! I can see a 512 Boxer engine rebuild happening??? Chris would be all over it like a rash. Great video guys!

[@kenrossaukrsa]

I offered £2000 last week :( gonna lose out and don’t use IG, want it it for long term personal use. Been wanting one for 3 years now

[@garyguest1885]

Great honest channel👍🏻 I’ve asked this question to 2 other channels who have some salvage cars amongst others - and they both ignored me so it here goes again... I have a genuine question If a person buys a CAT write off & insures/declares it as one & then has an accident at some point in the future & wishes to claim Would the insurance company pay out for repairs? Would they write it off (again) if damage was bad ? Or would they just pay out the original scrap value? Would the different CAT categories make a difference in this ? What would happen if the car is stolen ? Maybe you could do a blog on this subject as I’m sure people would be interested I’ve never bought one myself as it all seems too complicated. But for the money they seem great deals Cheers 👍🏻

[@garyguest1885]

@@kenrossaukrsa cheers mate. Still seems very complicated to me to be honest tho

[@fredsmith8897]

Rob it's not just about the money, though I know that's a necessity when running a business. More importantly you are conserving the earth's resources and at the same time educating us who care. Bang on mate. From Chris dad's truck to viva to mk1 golf to the mini. Good on you both. I had a serious injury last year and its a joy to watch you both work at something I'd like to get back to myself.

[@bastogne315]

Well said bruv.

[@fyshfysh]

100% agree. there's absolutely a satisfaction about being able to repair something and get it back into use instead of just disposing of it. these guys always underprice though, i KNEW rob was going to say 1995.... what an absolute bargain for someone.

[@rodhili3946]

Totally agree 👍. I wish you a full and speedy recovery

Was it worth it? Course it was Rob. Great content

[@neilhopkins8673]

When you said it stands you at £1200, I was sure you were gonna ask £2500 for it. Really nice car.

[@Stop..carry-on]

I had 2.5k in my head too

[@Ratarossa]

Thats a bargain !

[@paulreeves4313]

I think you could stick another £500 on your price and still sell it easily, I doubt that the others that you mentioned on ebay have just had the timing chain and head gasket replaced so those 2 jobs alone would add value in my eyes. I've just had the timing chain replaced on my N18 Cooper S and it cost me almost £900 so I think you could easily get more. I can tell you're not a greedy bloke so fair play to you and good luck with all your future projects, love your KZbin channel 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

[@yeshuascutter3170]

I was thinking boys, don't sell yourselves short on the price... If the other cheapest is at £2.6k, yours should be about £2.5k, maybe? It's got all those new parts and what with your time and effort, I'd say that's fair? Plus it's a 12 monther to boot... Great vids as always, always love the details!

[@wombatsyoutube]

Making a decent wage doing something you both enjoy and are very, very good at is worth it mate. Fact it gives us guys the best content is a massive bonus for us too! Enjoying these projects recently. 👍👍👍

[@5e34nut]

2450 is a fair price and a link to your KZbin page Any respectable mini fan would snap Ur hand off You've literally renewed the car and elevated to all worries Love the show ☺️

[@cypeman8037]

Hose man didn't fill me with confidence.

[@ginobragoli1448]

No he was a bit sarcastic (how much pressure) "a lot". You know it's a lot when you get your fingers caught in it. 😛

[@cypeman8037]

@@ginobragoli1448 It wasn't in any way shape or form sarcasm, unless you use a dictionary written by Paddington Bear. He didn't know and made a flippant comment to cover up his lack of knowledge.

[@markopolo9559]

The braided hose was a great idea and your supporting the small businesses too.

[@zaspex]

Whoever gets that R56 mini will get an absolute bargain! A first class engine repair. Nice work guys. I enjoyed watching every stage of that engine rebuild.

[@pennybage5665]

I can’t be the only person who likes these videos before watching them, knowing full well they are going to be good?

[@NuttyOrn]

Just discovered your channel mate amazing content been binge watching all your old vids, keep up the good content!

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, good result and still a cheap car. Its all about the content, and you guy's know what we enjoy. Onwards and upwards.! Cheers, Alex.

[@fyshfysh]

who knew there were specialised companies making hoses? not me. i love how you guys feature these small businesses

[@goonermick7786]

Rob that little car is what your channel is all about mate and I for one really enjoyed the content, and at the end of the day you’ve both saved a Cooper from the scrap yard well done to you both 😉

[@paul1978g]

I really enjoyed the work you guys put into this. I don't think I'd be brave enough to own a BMW Mini myself given the engines are fairly well known for trouble, but this one is clearly a well sorted car and I think I agree with the others that you could add £500 to that 2K and still be selling a bargain deal to someone. I'm really enjoying where you're going as a channel, you're the likeable, Essex, salt-of-the-earth "Wheeler Dealer" lads of KZbin, and long may you continue.

[@keithjefferies9862]

I agree just shows how honest and not greedy these guys are

Are you and Chris running a charity or something? You’re doing yourselves an injustice mate. People will pay the market price and more knowing the love and attention you lads put into the job. All that said, terrific content and long may it continue.

[@phoneme52xxx6]

Great stuff. You put a perfectly usable car back on the road no matter that you didn’t make a lot. That is the point. If it can be repaired then it’s always best to do it. Great content. Thank you....

Hello SVR im from the US Im a huge fan of fixing car etc I really enjoy the videos u upload

What I can say about you both,you don't scrimp on cheap parts just to make a few extra £s,a nice buy for someone! Keep the videos coming 👍

[@stevenjones1972]

Hi Rob,the Mini Cooper is back on the road,it will sell quite quick once you put it up for sale,another great build.

That would have sold for 2.5 any day of the week. It's in the best colour. Enjoyed the wee mini. Well done lads 👍

[@andymurdoch1346]

Great rebuild videos on this Mini. The N14 engine has its problems but overall they are good quality cars that don't fall to bits with rust. Some lucky person will get a great Cooper S. Keep up the great work.

[@kbaisley4947]

It's great to see integrity in action. More than once, I have seen both the words and follow thru actions (new injectors versus flush or rebuilds - oem timing chain versus chinesium) Wish you were on this side of the pond, I would gladly buy or send folks your way. Keep up the great work. P.S. Glad to see the tie in with Rattarossa, enjoy his channel as well.

[@westendwatch]

That car is a steal for someone at that price ! Rebuilt engine has given it a new lease of life !

Hi Rob and Chris, I love your vids guys, I saw first one few weeks back, subbed, and am a new fan. I now live in Canada, 14 years.

Nice touch there rob adding the pipe making into the video show's people you sometimes need to think out the box & there's usually a solution These videos do make great content but don't under value both of your time & talents when it comes to selling the vehicles there buying your trust & honesty as much as they are the vehicle i know you like to give people a good deal but don't sell your selves short if you'd have asked £ 2395 you would get it cause its still cheep & people know they are getting a good motor as you wouldn't put your name too it, I'm guessing most people watching this channel would rather buy a motor from you than some wide boy down the road Been in the trade nearly 30 yrs myself don't watch many car related channels cause they annoy the hell out of me with there bodges & zero talent you two guys do the job right stay lucky & keep up the good work
