Conclusion; Graham and Bill have some pull.  Deservedly so.  And both cars are pretty nice examples too.

Maybe we forum regulars can collaborate on a ranking system of who's name, when invoked, bolsters the price and by how much.  By country.  And RHD vs LHD. 

I guess it would be more of a spreadsheet...

$18,200 reserve not met 4 days to go.

Edit: $25,200 reserve not me 2 days to go.

Seems like decent quality S's are still being sought after.

Quite similar to the Gilcrease Mini. It'll be interesting to see what Gilcrease Factor it achieves ... 0.52?

It may do well on ebay but i bet it would sell quickly if he advertised it on BAT like Benny's did the other day for over his asking price> Nice Mini's well sorted never rusty stock or not are hard to find.

Generally, such a blatant attempt at starting a fight doesn't work...

To me, however, this is a much nicer car than the one you are referencing.

Looks like a mighty nice Mini to me - but I'm sure some will classify it as another (yawn) rebuild since it's no longer stone stock.

It must be good if Jay Leno is looking at it ......
