More pics and a compelling description that is bound to find a buyer

If I was going to buy it for £45k I would want the wheels/tyres to fill the "Wide Wheel Arch Extensions"

Now listed as sold!

[Se7enthHeaven]

Never mind. I can buy this one for £25k and only an extra 215 miles on the clock.

£20k loss for driving those 215 miles??

[minimans]

What?
Please don’t think WOW twenty odd grand for a Mini!. think what you get for £20k and how most things go down, whereas minis are on the up! £24,995.00
I would think that should be what you get for 25,000 not 20 odd........................................

Yep I could have bought the £45k Mini 500, driven up to Blyton and come back with car worth £15k.

As much as I really enjoy looking at Mini's (especially the fantastic ones people have restored on here) my real desire is to own and drive one again.

Just noticed from description that the hatchback must have added the extra value - 3 door hatchback !

So why is a 2001 Mini worth 2K more than a 2000 with less miles???

To be fair though, he has listed it under "mini" so it does still show up in a search under that title
I agree though, it IS important to list all the keywords you can in the title.

rubbish.....

mk1 metros are starting to look very clean and sharp in my eyes

I think history is going to treat them a lot more kindly than we did, they where a pretty good car and very spacious and roomy.

I quite fancy one - there that's my dirty secret out!

I agree. Technically way better than it's main rival the Fiesta. Then again, the ADO16 was far better than almost anything the competition put out until the Fiat 128 arrived! Sometimes I think the British contribution to automotive history is written down as being rubbish based on nothing more than perception.
