Works out about 33k miles per annum, must have been used for a pretty long commute! Could make a nice buy for someone since has warranty remaining and a much newer MINI than you'd normally get for £7.5k

Wouldn't the mini history contradict that? Do they still use books or is it logged centrally with MINI?

Information
Have tried to PM you Nick but your settings don't allow it.
In the market for a cheap small p/x style vehicle, perhaps we could talk over what you have coming in before it heads off to auction, save you the relevant fees?

I cant believe its a manual. The man must have such a huge left leg.

Why wouldnt cabbies just get an auto? Reliability I presume?
Reliability and cost- slight economy penalty of auto over manual adds up quickly at 40k/year

BINI have central service records, but you wouldn't know until you took it for its first service!

I suppose you could tidy it up relatively easily - new door card, gear knob, seats, carpets, alloy wheels, wings, bonnet, badges, bumpers, tyres, lights, roof lining, engine, gearbox, suspension.

eekeek I struggled to pay for the 5k or so miles I've done in my RRC or the couple thousand in my D1 V8, never mind 250k! No LPG either.

And the auction ended on... £1500.00

Soon to be re-listed due to time wasters I think!

That cant be worth £10k can it?!

If so thats been the bargain of the century for the owner.

Say purchased at £40k, thats only been about 13p per mile. Not bad for an E-Class taxi.
