    Never has, never will. Unless you specialise in Minis they’re a hard sell unless they’re CHEAP. Absolute dickhead ‘Champagne taste, lemonade money’ big-talking punters, fussy as fuck, always want more for less - give me a shitty old Shogun any day of the week!

    Looks nice and clean inside and well priced. Photographs in a public car park are a big no no for me and also the speedo image has lights showing (shut the bonnet and release the handbrake),

    We bought a bunch of mini’s but they really are hard to shift. There are SO many of them around my area that they really are 2 a penny - However if you have a mini parklane or a sought after one they sell pretty easily. i tend to stay away from them now as I never seem to make much money from them and they are always sitting around developing problems.

    You could also take your Ferrari to Hakfords for a service, they charge less than anyone else for a reason. Why not use a professional repair only guy, there are a few replacement companies that will do a quality repair but they are few and far. Where are you as I may have somebody who has been here for training in your area.

    We do really well with an older (read cheaper) Mini but I have to say we have always struggled with the Cooper S ones we've taken in chop. Insurance and high fuel/tax costs seem to scare all our punters away. Not helped by the fact we don't really do anything prestige or fast usually.

    That type of car buyer doesn't have any money...

    They have to be the best in 50 miles in my experience as when people come to view they always have several to see. Had loads of interest in my last one but with the amount of viewers I ended up taking a reasonable bid (£150 off, discounted for short MOT) just to see the back of it. Yours sounds well advertised and right for owners etc ... try more photos, Mini owners are vain!

    we do ours in house, but when the tech is off no one else can use the kit so we then use a company "recovery solutions" on flebay £0.99 a code and to date they have never taken more than an hour so cant fault them one bit, which is rare in this day and age

    Isn't this disgusting! Surely even the most hardnose racist must understand the significance of the 'Windrush' generation and significance of what they did for this country!

    They will have set up many Ltd companies between them to hide behind which are then dissolved after 18 months.When you don’t pay VAT,PAYE,business rates or do PDI’s ,repairs etc and get away with it,is it any wonder they will just set up somewhere else.They probably see it as good business,they could be up to all sorts.....HMRC don’t bother with them because there is no money....Meanwhile the Windrush generation who have worked and paid taxes Da Da Da.

    Yep! It was quite a giggle, managed to get the speedo to slightly higher than it’s indicated top speed too. On a downhill section.

    Off topic but I did Leeds to Cambeltown and back in a day last year, 6.5 hours each way. Picked up a very very cheap C1 though so it was worth the effort. Sold it within a week.
