I wonder if it runs?

Engine Running, the transmission might separate front from back.
Pushing it, I'd worry that my hands would push right through the patina.

Nice ad! They managed to get a dig in against the museum.

I don't follow the logic; the ad slates 621AOK for not being original, but how much of this wreck will be original after it's been worked on?

There is probably a procedure available through private medical facilities that can endow one with the super anal, bitchy characteristics required to appreciate the level of anal-retentiveness involved.

I'm sure the same can be achieved with castrating shears and a dose of out-of-date hormone treatments from an indian pharmacy. And the curry will be better.

Looking at the state of it,indeed how much of the original will be left. The logic doesn't make sense at all . Still, he managed to paint a pretty picture in words in complete contrast of the turd he actually pictured.. As far as the bidders go i guess each to their own if it floats their boat, but for me it's a

its a nice story etc but after the amount it requires to get it to a state worth keeping etc surely it would be better with something more historical?

I've seen much worse back in the day when I used to own a mini (had two in fact!) at both the 30th & 35th (might have been 40th!) anniversary events at Silverstone.
Like them or not, the fact that it sold for so much just tells you how much the old mini's 'are' worth even when they're in such an appaulling condition, and to be honest, restoring it will not only add to what has already been spent, but it will also decrease the value considerably.
Personally, if I were the buyer, I'd be keeping it as it is and storing it somewhere incredibly secure as a future investment, but I'm not the buyer, so I can only hope that the person who is has the sense to realise this.
