these are heading into 'folklore' territory....

its interesting that my 'better' copies don't seemed to have affected the price of the originals!

[mk1]

It hasn't sold yet, & at that price I doubt it will.

" I have a dilemma I seek advice on. I have my S for sale and it seems it's going to a dealer in London who has somewhat squeezed the price down from what I was asking. Sadly I don't really know the value of such a pristine mk3 s as they are so rare. Any advice would be great. Agreed price is 29k"

29K for a Mk3??? What dilemma?

[mk1]

Ha, ha, ha!

It's one I'd like to have

[Pete]

The only dilemma he's got is whether to tell the dealer it's not worth that much money or possibly how to stop the Mrs ordering a new kitchen!

Not the same car but same type. Won't embarrass folks by leaving the reg number visible but it's a sobering fact this May 1971 Mk3 'S' exchanged hands for just £2,500 in 2013. Garaged and off the road for 20 years so some work was required but was in generally good order. Right place right time - both parties were happy with the price at the time - suspect one is rather happier than the other now....

The mk3 S was offered to a classic car company that my friend works for . They turned it down . The owner certainly thinks it's pristine ! .... That's a good offer ..... Ken

Rick's MK3 S.

Sold for £4,500 in 2009

This car was absolutely 100% MINT!

[swifty]

That does look nice mark . ... Mk3 S prices are well on the up . I should be finishing my factory black one by dec/ jan . ... They seem to be overtaking mk2 S prices and easier to sell .... Ken

Mini Pickup abandoned project, I think it might have been better to sell it on before cutting it up.......

Did they turn it down due to the asking price or was it not as "pristine" as described by the owner ?.

[Beatie]

That's what I love about the mk3 S , a true wolf in sheeps clothing

[Spitz]

A number of years ago I test drove a 71 S.
Was a great runner and in A1 shape….but at the time I thought the $3500 asking price was too much.

This, apparently is a works replica:

The only thing it appears to have in common with a works car is that it is red and white.....

And not even the right red, is it?

[minimans]

Ooo you guys are so picky! It's still a nice looking car with a good spec..........Just the price is bit phew.....but in a few years time maybe not?
