Garage it and never let it see rain or salt

Looks good, Doesn't look original to me though, wheels, roof colour, grille etc should be different IIRC

Being the less desirable auto, then probably 2k

 

If you replace the exhaust with a standard one, they are very quick and easy to change at home with basic tools, If not, any exhaust centre would oblige and they aren't expensive either

even with the mileage being so low ,its a stunning car.ive saw loads of similar car but not as mint as mine and higher miles on the clock go for £3500 . is it a car the will gain value mate?

They all will eventually.

 

My estimate is just my guess. Best to look on eBay and do a search of completed listings to see what similar cars have sold for.

 

The market for mini's seems very confused at the moment with huge differences in prices for similar cars.
