My guess is...the seller is trying to get somebody who wants the dream MINI, and is trying to find somebody willing to pay about 2x the clean typical price....

No one has said anything about service records. Does the car have them? If so, the price may be a bit high...without the service records it is very high.

For comparison... I paid much less for my 2005 R52 s last year with a little less than 4,000 original miles. The deals are out there...

And I hope its not a "my stepdad owned it, and never used it because he wanted to focus on his Ferrari collection, so I made him a crazy offer and he said yes" type of situation
