On the contrary, high end cars are selling for just the same if not more then before the "economic downturn". I can think of numerous examples over the last few months.


Conditional rego is only available to cars over 30 years of age. A Rover Mini Sport 500 doesn't quite make it.

sssstew, my advice is KEEP IT. As you know, it is rare model and especially so in Australia. If you are keen to sell I can think of a few dealers that could find the right buyer for you.

I think we have all been here before.

Do as the lads have said and park it up and have a rest for a while.


But think about this... If you didn't have a mini to waste all your time, money and effort on what would you do with yourself? Go out? Enjoy yourself? Meet new people? Bah... who the hell wants that?
D

thats the thing, i dont have the time (due to new family) or the money (again due to one income and family) to spend on it at the moment.... its sitting sad and lonely in the garage under its cover
