wonder what state the rubber components are in ?

 

& the coolant - I should imagine / hope they were drained down 

 

as antifreeze won't last 26 years , 

 

& the brake fluid / fuel etc

Surely those aren't Minis for driving? They're for buying and selling!

'Barn' dust just adds ££££'s, I'm always a little sad when I see cars like this, you know they will never be used as they were designed to be, great reference cars, destined just to be bought and sold on for a profit.

totally agree - but in 50 years time , I wonder how many mini's will be on the road ? - if we have roads ...

 

we used to drive on the left of the road - 

 

.                                                 - now we drive on what is left of the road ,

Ive now heard a rumour that the RSP has had its mileage reduced by 25 ! (Allegedly)

That last picture of the black 30 shows why they all rusted out so badly, almost no rust proofing on the floor, boot or subfame as shipped from the factory.

[sledgehammer]

the number plate light seems to stick out further on the black one - or is just the pic ?

What do you think these would go for?
