[For Sale] selling my Mini

My '72 Morris Mini Van is for sale. I have owned it for 16 years. Yes, I will miss it. I have had my hand on just about every part of this car at some point. If you have ever pined for a Mini, but don't want to buy one that needs mechanical work, or rust repair, here it is. I have reached a point where I have decided I have too much stuff. I am keeping my Miata. I have not lost my mind.

That's one nicely restored mini, in a bodystyle I don't see often. Going to list on BAT?

[Georgia Cracker]

I probably should. It should fetch a decent price there. I need to look into that.

I think people on BAT will go nuts for this sweet car

George, I'm pretty sure they charge a flat $45 listing fee. You can set your reserve wherever you want, so you can't get hurt. Given that audience and how great this car presents, and the fact that it's the longer "van" style with the barn doors, I think it would get some fierce bidding.

I was feeling pretty crappy when I saw a 74' BMW 2002tii sell for over $40,000 last week. I let mine go, albeit without 320i Recaro seats or a 5 speed, but just as nice condition for just over $12,000 about three years ago. BAT is hot if you're selling the right sort of collector car. I try and review the auctions a couple times a week, just to keep up with where the market is at. I think you're price is great, but don't have much doubt a BAT auction might put a few more grand in your pocket.

Dave, thanks for tip. I have begun the process. We will see where this goes.I may owe you a beer. Or two.

That thing is bad a$$!

Agree with the BAT listing. IF you have that much invested in the car and will "miss" it, then you should get the most for it. Just takes two bidders with dough to make you forget you miss it, less. ;)

Dave beat me to it, I was gonna suggest BAT. Its a great place to sell given bidders there love to overpay. No reason not to take advantage of that. Plus, this is a really nice Mini. I have seen a rather shietty local Mini there worth maybe 5-6 fetch a stupid 11k. Unlike that one yours is very nice, I would think it might do well.

Well the Mini is now on bringatrailer. Make some popcorn and follow along. Some of the comments are entertaining.

It will be interesting to see where the bidding goes.
