Any Classic Mini's for Sale?

Hi We have just started to look for a Classic Mini. Wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to look. The NAM Marketplace didn't have many classics for sale and we haven't found a lot on the web, so we are looking for suggestions. Looking for a LHD and it doesn't matter where it is located.
Thanks

Or, come to Mini Meet East in Alco TN on 6/29-7/1, you may find your dream Mini for sale there. Plus you get to meet all the weird Mini owners, haha

We have just gotten a LHD mini in stock on consignement, Check out our site in the next few days. It will them be posted if it does not sell before posting

Also please remember any mini can be LHD or RHD as they were made at the factory with all the mounts ready to swap to either LHD or RHD depending on country of destination.

My V-Tec Mini is always for sale.....

Price is usually too high, as I view it as a bribe to part with her.

Good luck in the hunt.

Gah... I STILL can't post on the Sunshine page and so can't express my interest in that classic. I'm emailing him (thanks for asking him to post his email address, Norm), but I know he's "flooded with emails" on it, and might be checking SSM PMs first.

Maaaaaaan.....

That does look like a nice car. What's it like driving a RHD? Does it add to the experience of the Mini? or is it confusing? hard to get used too? no big deal? Obviously I have never driven a RHD

I drove my convertable through Mc'd's the other night. The guy at the first window just kept looking (like he knew something was wrong but just couldn't put his finger on it.) The guy working the pick-up window knew what it was right away and really got a kick out of it.
The car is so narrow that it really isn't all that hard to go through a drive through although I bet without the top down it may be a bit hard to see as they sit so low.

Driving a RHD Mini is not a big problem at all. My wife complains that I'm riding the center line, but that's her imagination, caused by her being so far from the curb.
I drove mine through toll booths on the drive home with no problems. The car is narrow enough that you can lean over, roll down the window and hand out the ticket and money without even undoing the seatbelt. Always gets lots of attention. The biggest challenge in changing steering sides is learning to change gears with the other hand.
