that is rather lovely, isn't it - but they might have tucked the bootlid retaining wire in for the photo!

Very nice that, though i'm not sure about rosepetals on mk3's

they could have tucked the boot support cable in on some of those photos!

but yes nice car

All prices are well below expectations.

The white Mk2 was a bit of a bargain for someone? I'm sure we'll see it re offered with a significant mark up soon

I'm sure you are right Al.

Unusual features on that Mk3(!) and of course all the experts on Facebook stating how cheap the Mk1 S was without noticing it’s been deseamed, which can knock a big chunk off the value.

I'm not surprised that the first 2 failed to sell if they were expecting 4 or 5k each. The grey '61 850 would have been a better buy.
As Pete says, a lot of work to put the seams back on - and who knows what is under that shiny paint. Not that first time that car's been offered is it.

You're dead right OEW. Under the shiny paint of a de-seamed car is usually - not always of course - a metallurgical nightmare of patched steel covered with a not so thin skim of filler

"Now dismantled" That sounds like a LOT of work

Not Mini related but these AC’s are fabulous. Nice video of them being unearthed as well;

Cheers, ironically not a thread I follow being non Mini!

I love the ACA auctioneer talking those cars up !

I reckon that was Enfield in North London, but I'm just guessing.

Be interesting to see what that goes for, been a couple of years since any have been for sale in that kind of condition

Surely Mathewsons should spot that a mile off and refuse to sell it as a 1967 car

I rather agree with you. I can just hear Derek saying "It looks a very level little car"
Such a blatant ringer as that shouldn't be offered by any professional outlet who wish to be taken seriously in the classic car business.
