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.

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.

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.
