Just picked this up off Ebay for an absolute steal, 8 bidders, 11 bids & it cost me the princely sum of 36 (thirty six) of your earth pounds. :D
I haven't had chance to run it yet, or do anything other than have a quick look, the pictures are from the auction & really don't do it justice.
It really is mint, bar a minute amount of tyre wear it could easily be a new build, there are NO marks on the chassis. Probably the worst thing is the shell, nicely cut out & cleanly painted, but our budding Leonardo DaVinci forgot to mask the windscreen...Doh!!!
It's obviously an early version of the kit as it has an MSC. It came complete with a brand new Futaba Attack 40Mhz radio & 2 servo's (up for sale if someone want's to make me a reasonable offer, I don't use Futaba, or 40Mhz am). It also included a 7.2 stick pack of unknown origin, so bar AA's for the TX & a charge, completely RTR.
I've been watching Mini's go on Ebay recently for almost NIB prices, even for well loved examples, so to pick this up in mint condition for less than the cost of the radio gear quite frankly, left me more than a little stunned.
It will be stripped down, cleaned (not that there's much to clean), ballraced & fitted with an ESC & Hitec radio gear, then become my new track weapon in September when the WMCC resumes racing.
Comments welcome as always.

Great deal you got there!!

If it is your track weapon, then I guess it will be best that the windscreen is painted so the driver doesn't worry at all where he is going.

Boy that was a steal of a deal. Nice little Mini.

Top work. 3 Racing shocks and Diff are great hop-ups

Good find mate. I'm tempted by the new m05, my brother won't have me racing his m03!
