It went to auction before but did not sell at £22,000. The car has 71,000 miles on the clock. The seller must be mad not taking £22,000 for a well used Rover Mini, despite the history of it being a press car. Some people have, what I think, really daft ideas of what a car is worth.nick@dunsdale wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 8:56 amIt's another one of those cant really be used Mini's it will probably end getting mothballed and trailered to the odd event.mab01uk wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 11:31 pm 1999 Mini Knightsbridge.

Apart from the obviously replaced accident damaged front panel, front wing and inner wing.Old English White wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 2:10 pm Haha, I was hoping that nobody else would spot that one It looks very correct, original spec doesn't it -
Early 1275GTs have increased a lot in value/popularity haven't they. Rare cars now - and considered more desirable than they once were too.surfblue63 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 2:38 pmApart from the obviously replaced accident damaged front panel, front wing and inner wing.Old English White wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 2:10 pm Haha, I was hoping that nobody else would spot that one It looks very correct, original spec doesn't it -
It has all the hard to find parts like the steering wheel centre and the small button air vets. Also looks like it had a twin tank conversion at some point. Hopefully the body will get restored and not replaced with a new Heritage jobbie.
By the way, the current price (£6.200) is only £1,000 short of what I paid for my Teal Blue car 8 years ago.
I've seen a few Restall's on those runners. Are they a Ford fitment, as the mini ones I'm familiar with are more traditional tubular steel?UHR850 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 12:43 pm RESTALL SEAT TYPE 1

GT's are really on the up especially these early cars
Like this one for instance!Old English White wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 7:18 pm There are certainly not many Coopers available for restoration which are as correct and original as that GT.
