This seemed like a decent buy for someone (if 30k is ever decent for a Mini)

Looks like an interesting car, a good looking car, prices seem to be less speculator driven lately......?

He did build some lovely cars, usually after exporting the real thing to Japan....

I think this affected other countries as well, suspect some may well of been reimported now and given new numbers.......potentially, could end up with more Ss in UK than were built in first place... :lol:

Not really at the auctions but on ebay-kleinanzeigen (=ebay-classifieds here in Germany, similar to gumtree in Brittain) I came by a selection of old stickers, among them some from Leyland ST, size 40x7.5 cm. They very, very rarely turn up for sale especially here.

So the mokes nearly £36k?
Looks nice if that’s your thing at a glance, I think it needs more stone chip in the engine bay and longer seat belt bolts threads underneath 😂

I found a Mk1 Moke at auction in dusty East Colorado last month.

It's sorta, well, unique, but a Moke nonetheless.

It was in the Tammie Allen collection - last seen in 2009 at Barrett Jackon:

BCR being auctioned today with estimated €80k!
Hope it doesn’t go for too much, the new owner will be very disappointed to find it is a poor clone.

Nice for a wedding car (in the right climate).

A dealer in Brussels had (still has?) it, same guy I bought my Unipower GT off. He advertised BCR for about £70k a few months back. So has it now sold?

No mention of the Mk2 shell but easy enough to spot...

Indeed, and the airbox is the later type for some reason... and other details not quite right. At least there is a new rear panel that can be swapped now ;-)
