Sounds a tad high, I've seen a very tidy G reg Mini in town parked under a car port. Never seen it driving around though.

I spotted these the other day and was shocked to see that the £40k mini has no tax or test.
mmmmm if my lotto numbers come out tommorow....I may be tempted to buy them both Laughing

I saw a Stag for sale a couple of years ago; it had never been registered, 600 miles on the clock, it was driven about 20 miles a year round an estate on a dry day,... it was perfect....but what do you do with it? if you clock up a few miles in it, start performing running repairs, it will be a good original vehicle, but loses the "as new" status, and probably a chunk of value!

The only place for them is a museum ?

Ref. the Mini Van: If you look at the "see other items" from the seller they have two auctions for it, the one for "buy it now" plus a normal one where they have had 65 bids so far up to 23,450 pounds. I see thay also have a Mk1 Ford Transit with two auctions one for "buy it now" of 15,000 and a normal one where they have 15 bids and are up to 8,101.
Interesting what they will finally go for.

Thats more like it. A classic cooper. Good T cut and polish would make some difference.
