what do you actually own mini-wise? I don't think I've ever seen a photo of your mini(s).

Wow! $1250 for that is amazing value. A little front-sag (hydro?), but very, very nice.

I'm constantly agog at the original cars still out there 40 years on...

cheers

Jacob

My earlier post was in humor for those who don't get it.

Yeah a very good buy (even if it is a roundie - ooopppps, dam, more humor :( )

Reminds me of a bloke I met at a show a couple of years ago, he picked up a one owner GT HO Falcon, 40 000 odd miles on the clock, un-restored, a little taty, still had original tyres, not sure if they were the actual originals or if they had been replaced with the same ones. Log books, most receipts. Deceased Estate, the wife tried selling it to him for $12 000, he could do it and offered $30 000. In the end she took $20 000. He got it insured same day for $400 000 after inspection.

I think everyone here needs to chill just a little.

It is great to see that there are still such nice cars out there for such little money.

Awesome find. Good to know there is still stuff like that out there.

It's even better that it found it's way into the hands of someone who will appreciate it, rather than someone who will "flip it" at a large profit. :)

Either the person who sold it didn't know the value or they really liked the buyer. I reckon even i would have been allowed to buy it for that price :D

even if you love minis you would have trouble resisting the urge to flip it.

LOL @ sportsvomits
