Look here to see why I changed my mind:

I'm just out of garage space to keep both classics.

I'd almost be willing to sell my MCS for yours. Before I bought my current MC I bid on a much lesser Austin Cooper than yours on e-bay. Mmmmm, can I swing this?

Doesn't cost anything to talk. PM if you're really interested. I might take a bit less to sell quickly.

Oh. My. God. Love it! Now I gotta sway the wife. Price seems great for such a great-looking machine.

I'd be all over that if I had any spare cash (or could afford to go any deeper into debt). Great car, and within driving distance too. Ahhh!

I'm still looking for a buyer for this Classic Mini in excellent condition. Runs and looks great. I need the garage space - make an offer.

This Classic Mini is no longer for sale. My wife decided she wants to keep it. I let her drive it for the first time today. I have created a monster. We will remain a 4 MINI/Mini family.

Thanks to all who expressed interest.

I am glad to hear that you kept it. When I went to sell mine, my girls started crying so I still have it too!! Enjoy your classic.

I've got something that will take up less garage

If you change your mind...

I could provide this as a partial trade....
