Post subject:  Where have all the minis gone

Hi everyone,

So i’ve been out of the mini game for about 7 years now, and about two or three months ago decided I couldn’t hold out anymore.

So i’ve been back on the forums and keeping an eye out for another mini and have been really surprised with the lack of cars available.

Is it just me or have all the minis disappeared within the last 7 years? either everyone is holding onto them or there are ALOT less around...

The activity on the forums seems to have really died down as well which is a shame.

I’m after a round nose i can drive as a daily, preferably a deluxe or 1100 or similar. Other than gumtree, carsales and ebay, does anyone have any suggestions on where I might be able to find a decent example?

I’m in Sydney by the way.

Thanks in advance and glad to be back

Facebook mate. Lots of people ore on facebook and only check into the forum a few times a week. There are a dozen or so FB groups for Aussie minis.

Few around still see

Ask around the Mini specialists in Sydney, they may know of something

Plenty of activity on Facebook Mini groups, but yes the forum is a bit softer these days (and the other Oz one no longer exists I believe)

Thanks for the info guys... there isn’t really much on the internet though... i’m just after a stock (or at least one that looks stock) deluxe or 1100..

I got off facebook about five years ago but i might have to make a come back and take another look.

Can you suggest any good groups on facebook?
