Glad you noticed it! It's my Mini. Please reach out if anyone has any questions. I'm happy to tell you all about it. It's been sat in and signed by Paddy Hopkirk when he came to Portland in Sept 2019.

The auction is still going on. I'm curious as to what it's going to sell for. Any guesses?

I've seen one with more miles recently go for $11,500. I also saw another advertised (not such a great example) for $3,000. Let's hope you score more $$$. Please update us when the auction is final.

I will definitely let the forum know what it's going for. I hope I can get some more interest in it, the auction ends tomorrow just after 12:00 PST. I would love to get 11,500 for it.

Why not BAT? A car like this would bring around twice the current bid.

Well, I just sold the MC40 on Cars & Bids for $12,500. I was debating BAT or C&B. Either way, it was a great easy process. We all wish we could get more, but hindsight is 20/20.

I've never seen an MC40 on BAT go for more than $11,500. Sounds like you made out just fine. Congrats.

Congrats on the sale! What commission does C&B take?
