Well, I'm off to malta on tuesday... and this is just gonna be great!

Lots of MK 1 and 2 minis that people dont want, in pretty good condition, for about 500 dollars. Yes, i wrote that right, 500 dollars

I have to convince my parents into letting me get one... or two...

will be back around august

 

You're pis'n me off man.....

Good luck shopping!

 

right or left hand drive? and how could i get one over here to the states?

 

UK Minis are RHD. European Minis were LHD.

Cars can be shipped out of Southampton on RoRo (roll-on, roll-off) for about $1,200 to east coast ports. Contact Phoenix Cargo http://www.phoenix-cargo.com/ ask for Terry Pittaway.

 

I'll give you $1000 for a Gen2 Cooper D.

 

This is gonna be funnn...

They are RHD, I'm not sure how to ship em, but I first got to get permission to have a few...

I can see lots of profit if i play this right...


@JnC Ill look for one for you =D

 

Sorry...didn't hear you!! Lalalalalalalalalalalalaalalalala. Didn't catch a word!!Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalal!!!!

 

Then ill say it again... 500 dollars

and that amount is round up... a lot.

I'm convincing my dad into sending back 4 of them, costing about 2000 for shipping, and about 2000 for the cars.

seeing if i sell them for 10,000 each, thats about... 33,000 profit after taxes.


Ill give you guys a deal

look forward to lots of pics in august!

 

I have seen 6 Minis in a container (large) You have to buils a send floor in it. The can be loaded/unloaded to a flat bed towing truck. Ask pmustang over on Minimania how he did it. BTW, he's living in the UK now and knows everything you need to know about shipping.

 

Well, im leaving today at 4, im going to definitly try to get a few minis, sell some of them, and use the immense profit to mod one of them crazily

 

How are they so cheap?

 

any pics or a update?

 

PICCCSSSSSSSSSS

 

Pics or it didnt happen

 

any updates?

 

Well in Rocans first message he said he be back in august.....give him a little time......

 

You guys consider 7/7 to be "around august"?

Patience ... this should be interesting to watch.

 

i seemed to overlook the date thingy when he ssaid he was buying classic mini's at just under 500.00

 

I've heard from residents of the UK that there aren't many deals about anymore. Even clubman estates are fetching 3,000 pounds in good nick. I'm anxious to see what a $500 Mini is....

 

....left, aren't the Minis there gonna be RHD? I've been to Malta, but that was before I cared about classic Minis....

 

Considering the exchange rate, a 250GBP car must be a mini on a smaller scale.

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i just got back.... didnt get any pics except for one with a blue leyland 1000 with the first three letters of the plate being F A G.... lol

i didnt have any time for pics since its my sisters camera.... but that one mini is just like all the others.... little rust and it runs good. reason there cheap is because of a lack of a demand. Parents wouldnt let me buy one.... still pissed about it.

sincerely sorry for no pics.... believe if you want to. about 90% of the minis are leyland 1000s.... my cousin has an 850 pickup though... there are about 20 minors there and some clubmans.

 

remind us again how old you are?

 

not sure if im the only one who saw that coming.......im sure there are some 500.00 mini's out there, but they are very few and far between.....i bought my roadster for 600.00 and it was a bucket, with no motor, no interior, brakes were locked up, and the rust had rust

 

It reminds me of the good old days where a 5 buck/hour job and a little money in your pocket can buy you what you think is the nicest car on the block.
