That's more than I paid for my first house!

No wonder I could never afford to replace my snap on stuff when it was stolen.
That is the most extraordinary eBay auction I have ever seen!
But I liked the style of the first bidder with £1.04. Nice try! :lol:

The mind boggles that is the most extraordinary auction i have seen as well, to make matters worse the seller says he has collected this stuff over the last COUPLE OF YEARS must be a lottery winner or something.

And who the F@#k would pay or be able to afford 34 grand for tools

That is a nice car, very original too, but I want to see it make more than 14000 pounds.

Dont think it will.

the plate on the left near the wiper motor, what is that have not seen that before ?,

I take that is not the rare sticker the seller refers to. I imagine that is behind the master cylinders just about visible.

all the early cars (i assume) had the paper sticker with the build info on.

they are very fragile though and flake off very easy.

ive got a car with one stuck on the passenger side

My Blue car has about 70% of the above sticker still on, it is the one visible on the rhs of the bulkhead as you look at the picture.

The VERY early Danish Mini,s had a little plate, sitting there (opposit side ofcourse)
It was a plate, that stated the dealers name, and who imported the car.
You can see these plates, on the 59 registre,s gallery, both Michaels car, and Clausager,s (Red one, now owned by BMW) has these plates.
So it might be a dealer badge ? just a thought.
