Marv-
Agree, many more minis listed for more, the point l was trying to make is the invested dollars to sale price ratio
And in respect to the mini in DeNver you refer to, at $17k, l sure as hell am not paying that kind of money
and getting a mini with a dent in the bonnet and some rust holes in the siills
There are so many top end "perfect" Minis out there, selling for a fraction of there invested value, it is a buyers market for sure

The seller of the $17,500 Estate may be citing shop rates (i.e. what it would cost a 3rd party to have a shop do all the work that his shop did.)
If you have to pay someone else to do everything, it wouldn't be a staggering shock to see a bill like that (depending on what you started with, of course.)

While I think the listing is a fascinating primer for someone looking at a cheque book restoration the prices just seem a little overegged...
Maybe you would pay 5 1/4 for a top line off the shelf engine but I've never paid that much for parts and work for my engines.....
Mind you, I reckon its worth every bit of the 17 asked...
Cheers, Ian

Check out the two clubman Estates on the Cars for Sale board
Jeremys in Happy Valley OR Invested dollars - $68,500.oo US
or JIMS in Daytona Beach FL @ $7,500 . US
Both great cars, the parts installed in Jeremy's car just Unbelievable
Five years ago, l would have bought both without a second thought
