I just got an email from Hagerty saying they are joining the online auction game.  So, along with Cars and Bids, it's going to be another competitor to BaT.   November is the first month they will host auctions.

A somewhat rare 997 Cooper is on BaT.   These weren't produced that long before being replaced by the 998 Cooper.

Sold for $32K.  Pretty good price for a 997 Cooper that isn't completely original.

A very original, one family owned, English Moke is now on BaT.   It will fetch big bucks for sure.

Wagons don't seem to bring the dollars like other variants...

Holy moke, a new level of silly money.

BruceK

You can just imagine the conversation back in 1966 the day the Moke was purchased:

"I know we only spent $1200, but if we keep this Moke in the family for the next 60 years or so it'll be worth $60,000."

"Why that's as much as 12 brand new Cadillacs!!"

I was shocked when the first green Moke went over $40K, but this is just ridiculous......it has Clancy thinking his is worth $40K now.... ::)

I am sure some of you remember the Moke 'Quicksilver" bought from Don Racine at one of his open house events. I think it was for $250, people were shocked when it later sold for $20K at some point down the line. It was barely a roller...

30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions at the shrink.

I guess that Moke's sale at $60k shows originality beats clean and spiffy. Think if it would have been in top concours condition - how much would it bring then?

I wondered if the market for classic Minis had waned a bit, especially for the later model/Japanese spec cars - but the last two results on BaT seem to suggest they're still really strong.

This one went for $26,500.....1995 with LHD and very clean

This 1997 RHD red one brought $20,500

The prices on BaT seem to be all over the place, whilst those went well.  Others last year seemed to sell for less than I would have thought.

MiniDave

Yeah, I'm surprised how much both of these brought as late model cars weren't doing nearly as well as MK1s......

Hardly any comments on the Jet Motors "merv griffin" Moke

MPlayle

The Jet Motors "Merv Griffin" Moke also went RNM didn't it?



MiniDave

I don't know why Jeremy annoys me soooooo much, but there it is. I did watch that, but I've never understood why a "celebrity" owning a car makes it worth more.

It sold for $39K

Sold on 09/12/2024 for $39,000 to Dagood1

This listing was sold via an offer
For auctions that do not meet reserve, the high bidder has the opportunity to make an offer above their final bid. The seller can accept, decline, or make a counteroffer to try and work out a deal.


It was a really nice one, if you ever wanted to own one that looked like a well cared for car. I think he has a couple more Merv Minis to sell too

While not a classic (future classic maybe?) this jalopy ended up in my garage last month.  My first BAT purchase...although I've bid on a few (typically when I should have been keeping myself to the drunk thread):

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2006-mini-cooper-s-jcw-gp-37/

Item not as described!  I suppose as a 18 year old used car with 45k miles on it, it is very nice.  Just a couple little problems I didn't expect - loose inner balljoint had the car scarily all over the road, and looks like whoever put the tires on broke their tire machine in the bead of one of them - tire wouldn't hold air for more than a couple days.  In the future I might ask the seller - 'anything you think you should be telling us about this car or is it actually as nice as described'?   :rolleyes:

MiniDave

Wow, considering what he paid for it only a year ago, I think you can forgive the odd "needs", it looks like a nice car otherwise and well worth what you paid......as long as you have a solid place indoors to keep it, you should be in good shape.

I have been watching these too for a possible add to my garage.....but I think I'll look for a 2013 - I like turbos!
