Agent Provocateur MINI Clubman sells for $70k on eBay



Cool that they did it with a Mini but IMO they butchered the car, it looks like crap.

I dunno, I think it's kinda cool in a funky sorta way. Not worth 70k, though, LOL!

That is pretty funky looking, but for that much cake I could have purchased a lean Clubman S, base MINI Cooper and MINI convert. A fleet of legit MINIs vs. the gameshow car! I will take the fleet!

I agree. If I'm spending 70k on Minis, I'm buying two well equipped cars -- and some extra asphalt to park them on.

I would think who ever bought it would use it as a tax write-off as a business expense. I can't see that Clubman being usefull for anything but a "service vehicle"

Wow if I was spending $70k on a MINI I'd find an R53 and just send it to Jan and tell him to give it all he's got.
