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:

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.

yes the ebay ad says they combine freight for multiple purchases.

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
