nice vehicles.

The red seems to have had its original reg number transferred off, as XUW points to a July 1959 not 1961, so this must be an age related reg.

The blue one's reg is bang on for 1960.

I used this website which someone suggested a while back

Yes, Its very nice indeed.

Nothing in the advert about the car, just a Mini history lesson :lol: .....too expensive though, personally, I would say a max £10K car, even from a dealer.

The "confident" asking price of the seller, along with his arrogance has already caused some discussion on Facebook.

It’s odd to see quite a few sellers still living in the pre 2023 world of high prices.

I think, as some people may have over paid post Covid, they are trying to unload before the market drops more.
This is true of the classic motorcycle trade too, by some accounts.
