some great minis on there.
Would love the ute, or the van or the W&P mk3 or the austin cooper....
Never heard of them here in sydney? The austin cooper has kiwi plates on it and the mga's are nsw cars.

Yes, i knew this company, there was a very very gorgeous 64 Austin CooperS (looks very original on the pirctures) on that site mid last year - red with black roof.

Sold for about 25000 and I nearly shoot myself with a gun because that exactly was what I was looking for but when I rang the seller, he told me the car was on the market for 1/2 a year and someone just placed a deposit about 5days before my call was made. @#$%^%$#@! He said there is a black W&P Mk3 (still on that site), but I didn't like that one...

I even hunted down the person who restored the car to try to offer him more, but he told me the car just left today. It was sold to a Japanese guy in Melb. :evil:

interesting. it looks like it's a bit more than just a listing service, as they appear to be taking some sort of a part in the sales of the vehicles, say maybe selling on consignment or even buying and selling as a dealer, although it's not very clear how they operate. and unless i missed something, there's nothing to suggest they have a motor dealers licence!

the abn quoted on the site, when i looked it up on the australian business register (http://www.abr.business.gov.au) gave me the following information:
