Hi guys.

Been watch a few Mini's on eBay and can't understand why some good for thounds why other don't even get bids.

Before you all jump to respond, don't get me wrong I know there are differences in Minis, but I'm looking at two 1974. One has just been sold for £520 while the other doesn't even have any bids. Both look the same to me. Neither have a V5 document.

Any thoughts?

The top one has been partially deseamed which is not to everyone's tastes and if done wrong will be nothing but hassle. The other two are good tax free cars

Third one sounds like it needs abit more legwork doing on the identity, no V5 and the VIN is incorrect.  Sounds like it's been reshelled or something.

Looks like there's been a bit of over sill action going on with the third one too :X

Yeah, location usually is a key factor on bids like this
