Having a punt on this, will not go higher even though it has not reached it's reserve.... :) Would be great for running about for work, and I have had a few, though never in auto.... ::) ::)

I currently own a 1985 mini 1000 auto which has only done 55000 miles,sadly although it runs its in dire need of restoration :'(
-
does look good vamps...like the dash :y
-
Still winning, I got brave enough this afternoon to mention, in passing, that I had bid on a car whilst 'in drink'.... :D :D :D
Looks tidy, and only about 10 miles away, a bonus when buying a car....I do not intended to increase my bid, even though it has not hit the reserve... :) My plan is that not many people want an auto Mini and that he will contact me, if it does not sell and try and do a deal.....not the end of the world if I do not win it.. :) :)

SWMBO is trying to talk me into bidding for this car. She thinks it would be great car for our oldest son to learn to drive. He still has 18 months before he is seventeen!! :o :o
I think we will look for a good cheapish car nearer the time :y

It's no good as a learner car it is Auto..... ::)
Now, if you want a nice car for a learner My yougest stepson is thinking of changing his, I bought it for his 18th Birthday, just an old Saxo 1.0L that's been no trouble...... ;)
-
An auto would be perfect for him, he is so laid back he would starve if we didn't put food in front of him ;D ;D
Nice try with selling the Saxo :P :P

Are you bidding on this then? cos I have just raised my maximum bid which is some way above the bidding at the moment.....Despite me originally saying I would not do that...... ::) ::) ::)

Careful Mike, that 'Good quality respray' it had last year appears to be covering a great deal of tinworm on the scuttle panel! :o

I can confirm, I am not bidding on this car :)

Yes, but at the kind of money I am prepared to pay for it, not a problem; I have had a few Minis :y :y
I am just waiting for a message from him to give me a price - I knew I had every possibility of being out bid, but the reserve is not met, so whatever he thinks the car is worth has been proved not to be the case. I sent him a message yesterday asking him to contact me if the deal falls through.... ;)
This is where I pop up again, in Norton, finding fault and explaining it is these faults that stopped the car selling :D I will then inform him of my researching of prices for the Mayfair, remember this is not a Cooper and it is Auto, who wants to buy an auto Mini, not many and I will mention the amount of cash in my pocket, take it or I walk, not desperate.... :y

A mate of mine had an auto mini when I was at school.
Gearbox was about as decisive as an OOF'er at a meet with a burger in one hand, a beer in the other and a glass of Hotel21's finest on the table. ;D

For those of us on the fringes of civilised society, that paints a wonderfully satisfying picture. ;D ;D ;D

Get your welder ready Vamps!
And hopefuly your welding is better than that which can be seen on the underside!
-
No Mini for me..... :D :D
He sent me a message saying that he would like around £2600 as that is what they paid for it and he says that he has spend £1500 on it, one to walk away from...... :D :D :D
-
Personally, I think its one to walk away from, given the number of bubbles appearing under that first class paint job. And the fresh schutz on the underside to hide the welding.... ;)

I would only have gone for it at around £1200, given his message to me he is not going to be interested at that price, may well a blessing is disguise anyway :) :) :)

He offered it to me for £2600 I reckon that car in that condition is worth about half that price, it's hardly going to sell as it is a specialised market and people will remember what price people bid on it, which is the value of a car in an auction........ ::) ::) ::)

If it was a Cooper then he'd stand half a chance, but not a Mayfair Auto ::)

It's an untouched 22 year old Mini, it is not going to be great, question would be how sound is it? there does seem to be a lot of optimism amongst Mini owners, there a lot around, the real money is in the early coopers...Megga bucks for a good one.... :) :)
