This is the sort of find I have dreams about.

The shed it was in, fell down around it? :shock: Bloody marvellous! :D

Now this really is a diamond in the ruff. Nothing a little body filler and a coat of hammerite couldn't cover up.

Lol and finished on just over two grand.......hmmmm mini hysteria appears to be gaining legs.

I have loved mini's from an early age had around ten of them, not had one for awhile, but things may just be getting out of hand a bit with prices's like that.

Some of the prices for early'ish variants seem rather strong.........good news for all you guy's that have them though :)
