£20 for about 9 bottle of perfume that guy was trying to flog. Smelled like scented nappy bags.

There was a restored mini shell there for £9000 which I thought was a bit steep considering there didn't seem to be any doors/bonnet with it and a brand new shell is £5500

I think the weight reduction probably comes from the significant decrease in overall wallet mass. Somebody is taking the piss there.

This Ex-Works Rally Mini bonnet from LBL606D went for about £1500+ on ebay in 2010.........
It had come from a chap who's dad in the 1960s and 70's worked for a scrap dealer in the Oxford area called Heborns, and they had the contract to dispose of scrap from Special Tuning.

That was a mk1 cooper s shell 
the £7500 blue one out the front was ridiculous too. The tops of the wings were bubbly and full of filler! And £4200 for an un restored but crispy pickup...
