In that condition... absolutely!

I'd pay that if I was restoring a Cooper and needed parts in this condition.

In fact, I just checked, 2 months ago, I bought 3, two perfect and one a bit bent for 10 quid!! :lol: :lol:

They had failed to sell on E-bay (UK) so I contacted the guy through another Item he had, he even posted them to my mothers place in UK for free!!

Bargains can still be had. Nothing a panel beater and a polish couldn't fix.

well... that price is NUTS for those.... but.... I have paid crazy prices for GT parts.

It all comes down to this:

If you got the money, and you aren't afraid of sending it, then good luck to you!

Obviously not ALL Mini owners are tight arses!
