Five pretty much abandoned minis...






They've been there for quite literally years just rotting away down a street in southend as long as I can remember now.

Make him an insulting offer. If they're just sitting there rotting he can't know what they're worth.

Mr Bean's private stash?

Having read several articles about people trying to buy rotting cars, the opposite is often the case. The owners are often elderly but still intending to restore them "sometime" and either have an inflated idea of what they are currently worth or won't sell them at any price.

Yes, it is.

[Cemesis]

Doesn't hurt to ask. Go in with "Hi, a friend is after an original mini, would any of yours be for sale?"

There's a similar house near me with no fewer than 12 Rover P6 3500s and a Triumph Dolomite Sprint.

However, the house looks like the sort Boyd's team from Waking The Dead would break into and find someone who had been rotting for ten years in an armchair. Either that or the owner actually lives next door and just uses the whole house as a shed/P6 graveyard.

Oddly enough there's what looks like a pristine red one on the street outside but I can't recall the last time I saw someone driving it.

And, if you're in America, they'll chase you off their land with a shotgun and a Doberman.
