any ideas how i would be able to put a price on my pride n joy that i have much loved since iv had it ????

it went on the crusie into the city on the 50th anniversary some people might remember it.

Being an Innocenti it will be difficult for most people to say as it's rare . Probably best would be to think of what you paid for it and think of what you've done to it since . Then pick a figure that you think covers what has been improved (not just servicing) and see if anyone wants to pay that . Remember , you can always lower the price if it doesn't sell but it's hard to raise it once you have people clammoring to buy it .

I don't know that I would buy a car off ebay unless I could go and look at it but selling one might be different. At least you can set your minimum reserve and see if it goes way above it. Just an idea.

it's a buyers market for a rare and unusual car like yours - if you want to sell it quickly, offer it for sale as just any other mini, you'll get plenty of people comparing it to deluxes and clubmans etc. and expecting similar prices. If you put it on the market as a special thing, and are prepared to wait for the right buyer to find it, then you'll do fine

ebay would be a gamble

'a mini is for life, not just for christmas!'

Simple but true.. An object is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Obviously your best bet is look for what others like yours have sold for *history* then factor in the time frame since then and condition comparison. Go a little high with room to knock it down a little. At the end of the day you dont want to 1) rip anyone off or 2) be ripped off. As I like to say.. a fair days pay for a fair days work eh

Shannon's Auction, just set a reasonable reserve taking into consideration auction fee's, if you have all the original paperwork and there is only 4 or 5 in Australia , I,m sure they would be only to happy to sell it for you, its even possible that there would be overseas buyer's by selling it through them.

Put it on (sl)ebay and let 'the market' say what it's worth. If you don't actually want to sell it, put a BS reserve price on it
