World's most expensive MINI

Saw this ad on my phone today. Must be a Goodwood or something...

It was just a phone screenshot, so I can't make it much bigger. See what this looks like:

My cousins in Australia told me base coopers start at $60,000.
Cars are more expensive there, except for their domestic Fords and some Japanese cars that are easily shipped there. Some German cars come with a luxury tax too.
So there might be a Goodwod down under with a $160k price tag.

Poor Aussies, gotta watch out for snakes and giant bugs and then have to pay ridiculous amounts for cars, and then they get their doors kicked in by kangaroos.

That is definitely not a Goodwood.
Also they fixed it.

I'm sure it is a typo. If you drop the 1 at the end it looks like a logical price for that car.

That's exactly what they did; it's priced now at $17,995.

I actually had Mical beat in another thread by $20k

I'm guessing someone hit both the "3" and "2" keys at the same time when posting the one I found

Did you guys not read my last post that it has already been fixed? This is why we don't have nice things.

For the record, I knew it was a typo, and I knew it wasn't a Goodwood. Apparently there are a few cases of sense of humour failure around here..

We here on NAM do no have a sense of humor that we are aware of.

If it makes you feel any better I believed it was the first sighting of the elusive used 2008 Greatwood Edition.

A base Mini Cooper is around $30k in Australia. $60k will get you a JCW.
