    The Cooper sport in the GTM has 7 miles on the clock, it's never been used once by its owner

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    My friend has an unregistered mini 30 the same as that one but with even less miles on the clock (a whole 8 miles)

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Doesn't matter whether it's a GTO or a mini, it's massively sad IMO for a car not to get used - that's what it was built for, not to be a garage queen

    Good initial idea, but, wow, what a waste of an iconic car and certainly wouldn't be my choice at 19k

    So sad to see any car like this, I mean I can understand manufacturers keeping cars like this for their museums etc etc but not in private hands, come on guys, like Mon said the poor thing should be out there dodging pot holes like the rest of us

    I love minis but even if I had all the money in the world I still would NOT pay 19k for it

    I think that car will get the price, maybe not straight away but someone will buy it.

    I agree it's a real shame not to be used - and if it IS used, that price would just evaporate with every mile you put on it, so it's only 'worth' the money if it never turns a wheel, sad
    BTW, paying £19K for a Mini you can never use is sheer madness
    Better investing it in a classic MGC Roadster or something you can enjoy and will hardly loose any of your 'investment' on - best of both worlds!
