That is pretty cool that he got the jumpsuits and helmets all done. I was just thinking how much they might go for as a collection, and Brian said quarter of a million - I was thinking probably around the 200k mark or so, but given the right couple of buyers, they could easily reach more.
I remember reading about the guy buying the box of plates, and I think the guy is a lot younger than I imagined he would be actually.

To be honest you can never put a price on something you love so to the owner of the minis i dont think he would even sell them

Great cars. The guy who owns them is a nice chap. We were parked opposite him at a show, we chatted for ages and he let me sit in the red one and hold the gold!!!
The box of bits and three number plates were worth every penny. The journey of building three iconic cars and meeting some famous people along the way doesn't happen that often restoring an old Mini. He mentioned Chris Evans offered him a 6 figure sum!
How the three Minis rocked up to an Italian Job Show at Saltburn in July 2012...
The AA recovery truck doesn't have the same appeal as a Harrington Legionnaire!

But as stated on the Mk1 Forum many things in the media are not totally factual in detail but not worth really getting too worked up about.....and to be fair he does say he only bought paperwork, number plates and some rusty old bits. Their appearance at shows and in the wider media does bring the legend of the Mini's in the Italian Job alive for the general public, whatever us as 'anoraks' on the subject might know or think.....so good luck to the owner with his not significant investment in their very accurate re-creation.

£250k sounds a lot but is nothing compared to the probable £1m tag that will no doubt be attached to the orange Lambo Miura which has just resurfaced in the latest issue of Octane magazine, there's strong evidence that it is the actual Miura driven across the Alps in the opening scene of the film. Rod Stewart's 1971 Miura SV is currently for sale at around the £1m mark!
