Definitely agree there. I know some pretty wealthy guys that are just as passionate about cars as any of us. Money has nothing to do with being an enthusiast (other than it helps being able to afford some really cool stuff, or just enjoy cool stuff quicker than others). Can't hold that against them...

I thought I was rich when I sold a slightly better condition S for $2,500 after paying $700 for it. I also sold my VW microbus for $700 to buy the Mini.

Besides, some of the worst crimes (read: modifications) committed to these little cars have been committed by "driver/enthusiasts" during the years when these cars weren't worth anything.

Yup, we are being out-bid by well heeled Brits looking to re-live their youth! I'm glad my 66 S is so highly modified that I don't have to worry about it!!The seller's other Mini is this stunning 62.... stopped by last week and picked up a roofrack or two....

The car originally came into California. It has the little 1 x 1" BMC196? plastic plate underneath the serial number plate. My 1963 Austin Healey 3000 has the same plate. As far as I know those plates were only on California imports.

I have been watching the auction and the bidding in the last few hours went crazy and i imagine the seller is happy. I understand the originality factor but dents and a seized engine it seems a lot to me. Going back to its homeland apparently good luck to the buyer. Like they say they are only original once.
