Sometimes there's a segment in the car collector world that will surprise us. This is one: oem beach cars.

Auction for this is acting up as the clock nears  the end, now sitting at ... $96,000  :o

Lovely unit though, looks perfect, one of the first 13 MINIs imported to the US.

. 200k$......!

Note to self: find the 12 other ones in barns, auction off on BaT, then retire somewhere warm.

Sold for $230,000

Dropped my car off at my indy for new winters this morning. He has a 2008 Honda CRV with only 155,000 kms on it up for sale. Just look at all that floor space!

^^^isn't that the generation of CR-V that suffered from severe structural corrosion?  There was a massive recall, but I believe it only applied to vehicles in certain provinces (like Ontario/Quebec)

What you see here is why my wife turns down all the vehicles I bring home. She wants a spot to put her purse on the floor, between the seats, acessible to reach in if needed (sunglasses etc.). Our Gen-1 CR-V had the flat floor, our Gen-2 and now Gen-4 Odysseys have it too. Everybody does massive consoles nowadays.

My wife would love that.  How far is that from where you live?  Also, got any spare garage space?  ;D

Some people has so much$$$ o cant even comprehend. Probably a tax break for them. But ya quarter mill for a gold cart

It's a shell game the wealthy play.

No capital gains taxes flipping classic cars.

Damn some of you are cynical.

It's also hugely risky. And classic car prices are typically hit very hard once you enter a recession.

That Mini is very cool no doubt both as a early example and a factory beach car but $230k is nuts.

I don't recall ever seeing this body style before. Caravelle is a Canada only model from what I recall.
