I have inherited a red classic mini cooper, one of the last off the production line in 2000, but not registered until 2001. It was bought by my great aunt, and prior to me has had just the one proverbial old and very careful lady driver (when I collected it in 2012, I was apparently the first person to have ever used the passenger seat). It has done just over 9000 miles, and although I love it, as I live in London I just don’t need a car, and this is definitely a car that prefers to be used, so I have reluctantly decided to sell it.
I wondered if anyone could give me some advice on valuations, as the mileage is unusually low, and it was one of the last 50 or so ever made. The exterior is all original and bar new floor mats and the addition of door panel speakers, the interior is also entirely unchanged.
The two main issues are a couple of pinhead sized holes in the interior cloth roof lining, and as the photos show, a small amount of (largely cosmetic) rust starting along the panel edges in the usual mini-rust locations.
Any and all advice regarding a valuation would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Emily
