I've seen some scary minis on eBay before.....
... but never one requiring a machete to get to the back seat .....

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-Minor-/331114173255?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4d17f15347

might do better advertising it as a greenhouse !

:? :shock: :(

it was probably a good car when it was driven in there.... some old bloke who kept saying "nah mate, not for sale, I'm gonna restore it, it'll be worth a fortune"....

Every time I let a car go to a young bloke because I wasn't using it they ended up smashing into a power pole within six weeks.
Torana Hatch > Pole
Rx-3 > Rolled and then Pole
Leyland Mini (blue) > Pole then rolled
Leyland Mini (red) > Missed the pole but rolled into a ditch.

Lucky I didn't keep these cars or they might have rusted away to nothing.

This must have gone unnoticed. Move to Ebay items. No one watching ? Or only threads by certain people get moved?

definition of "put out to pasture'.
I love it, over the last 6 years i have collected of about 240 pictures of old minis and shells that have turned up on ebay or trade me here in NZ. this i would have to say is in the top 10 of "best dilapidated"

5 million made,.... few still on road, ... some restored, cherished, raced and enjoyed,.....lots in sheds and garages as 'incomplete projects, the missus moans about,..... millions gone..... 'crashes to crushers, rust to dust...amen'
