Post subject:  Wicker basket rear Underseat storage? - very early Minis

I've seen these used in pics of early British Minis. Were they ever used in Australia?
Whatever the answer, think they are a practical and fantastic idea. Been contemplating making one myself and came across this today.

See ebay advert from Serbia:

..... but postage is $25 ...... EACH.
You will need 1 for either side of the rear seat.

The Brits are selling it for GBP90 or $146 for a pair (x2) baskets including postage.
The Serbians are selling $60 ($30 x 2) for a pair plus ($25x2) $50 for postage = $110

You'd save $36 going with the Serbian-based seller.

i've bought mine of Bill at the 59register.
and he's a top bloke. the quality is out standing. and there are no language mix-ups.
they were shipped fast and cleared customs without any issues.
don't know the serbian chap, but there could be quality and custom issues to deal with.

I've bought 2 of the Serbian sets (4 baskets in 2 transactions) the sellers communication is excellent, he packs well and ships quickly - I'd be happy to recommend him
