Is a 997 engine really worth £2000?

I can now see where I went wrong. All those years working in the motor trade - rather than my employer paying a few quid into a badly run pension fund I should have just asked for a few posters out of the showroom and BMC boxes from the stores :?

Yup, but make sure that they are the right models.

With my luck, I'd have had the finest collection of Maxi & Marina posters & boxes for my pension :lol:

:lol: Yes, but one day, even THEY will have SOME value! I do agree though that the early Mini seems to hold a very special place in people's minds/hearts/garages/collections/memories.

I wonder how much traffic around the world a Mk1 Marina or Maxi specialist forum would produce......

Maybe there IS such a place :o
