WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.

That Cooper on car and classics is fantastic isn’t it.
Needs to be really carefully restored to not spoil it, (in my opinion that is).

It’s mine and I totally agree, I just hope somebody wants to do that and keep it special. It’s painted RR Regal Red inside aswell so it wasn’t a cheap job, must have looked the business when it was done and gone like a rocket. The Downton stamp dates to 1965 the same as the engine number does. Montague kept it until he got divorced in the late 70s and it was laid up in the 80s.

If I hadn't just bought the Maser I'd be interested in this Pete, it ticks all the right boxes for me. I hope you find a good buyer for it, it deserves to be given the best possible treatment

Yeah it’s right up your street! The website had a fit on Sunday and trashed a load of ads so I’m going to have to re-upload it.

Quite like this Pickup, all done up, but still https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313608883594 ... SwPHRg9dzp

Yep, either dodgy bidding or the ‘buyer’ went to pick it up and realised it’s a bag of sh”t.

Not far from work, if I had more time I’d go look for a laugh.

You might love the May 64 Hydro 1275 S on Facebook then...

He 'brought' them.

Always a red flag and a fine intro to an Enid Blyton tale.

999MOM has been on a Vauxhall Zafira or a similarly hateful sh*tbox for some time.

Plenty of if’s, but’s and maybe’s in that ad….

Very, very rare pre production hydro?!

Looking forward to seeing the ‘59…..

shock: What's next ?

But if this is the last thing, I would pay it also.

That is very nice, but why are the Export badges so high on the A-panel??? You see it more and more when originally they were much lower down, like the BL badges on some later minis. Just looks wrong to me. But otherwise a tidy looking car.

Crazy, what's the point ?. Same as all such low mileage cars. Stick it in the garage and look at it or devalue it as soon as you drive it. Pointless. Even better trailer it to shows and stand with a smug look for doing nothing but emptying your bank account.

I suppose if the Mini was bought purely as an investment and it sells for £30k....it depends on whether the return over 20 years (with no tax to be paid) is better than sticking the cash in a savings account/more risky investments or with property, tax such as capital gains being payable?

Exactly, it is just an investment, not something to enjoy which is fair enough.

Assuming some one wants it enough to pay £30K...........does anyone ?
