1971 Mini 1275GT £18,333

Bonhams MPH, online, 11 December

Fairly fresh from a detailed restoration, and remarkably still on its original 10in Rostyle wheels, this 1275GT was offered with a comprehensive history that confirmed its 58,000 miles. Bonhams’ £20-25k estimate was a bit fanciful – we reckon the price paid was right on the money, and the seller was obviously happy enough with it too. If you don’t mind the nose, these make cheap Cooper alternative.
