You would be the best person to answer your own question having listed one for wrecking just recently. Did you get any replies?

Given their rarity it would be sad to see them scrapped...offer them to someone like Mini Kingdom? Greig?

I think the demand is not financial as in "Demand and Supply" it's more enthusiasts demand to keep the mark alive which eventually becomes a worthless pursuit. Try throwing it open to the enthusiast for cash or swap, you may end up with a brace of geese!

I hear the mini auto was the first mass production clutchless sports shift transmission, something to remind the Porsche guys about.
