Monkey_boy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINI-COOPER-S-1968-EX-LIVERPOOL-POLICE-CAR_W0QQitemZ170372914188QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item27ab045c0c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 But 30 K ???????????????????????????I believe this was at the London to Brighton Mini run that I went to earlier in the year. I was in my father in laws Riley Elf which was on the line up of 50 cars marking the 50th anniversary, This mini was also there representing 1968. £30k does seem far too steep for it though!!It's got quite a history though. EDIT: Here you go:http://www.london-to-brighton.co.uk/Galleries/2009%203D%20Gallery/Sun%20CP/Sun%20CP%203/Sun%20CP%203.swf6 (from the left) in 1 down is that mini.1 (from the right) in 1 down is my father in laws Elf. It's a 1965 one. I'm sat in the passenger seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete-M Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Not from e-bay, but HOW MUCH?!http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/1325544995.htmlI'd have thought that was about right for an LS6 engined Chevelle convertible in perfect condition.It's about $150,000 more than anyone in Europe would pay for it, but hey, fools and their money...

morris_ital_lover Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 One reason for the price may be that there are only a couple of minis in orignal police trim/with police history as they were all shagged by the end! I only knew of one until I saw this one!m0rris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris_ital_lover Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Looking at that ebsite maybe I understood wrong! But I think you have OLDSKL COPPER prices combined with OLDSKL MINI prices on that one as well!m0rris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Ross Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 They are different. The wheelarch protrusion is larger on the RS/Mexico. I had a pair of these about 20 years ago, sold for close on 200 quid with scabby bits on, genuine brand new old stock. Rescued from a demoiltion of an old garage....they were about to be squashed by falling masonry after a structural failure. Woohoo...paid for an overdrive!

Albert Ross Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Curiously, DVLA have it down as a diesel (Heavy Oil) is that not an offence to have incorrect registration details on record? Should the Yorkshire forces be concerned?The vehicle details for YX02 EVU are: Date of Liability 01 01 2010 Date of First Registration 01 06 2002 Year of Manufacture 2002 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2319CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Heavy Oil Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour WHITE Vehicle Type Approval null The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry.

Police Service vehicles are tax free anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
