    We went 200ft deep in to a underground cave and found 500 classic cars abandoned next to a lagoon... Sounds to crazy to be true right? Look for yourself 😁

    my cup of tea is old Minis and I used to have a Mini Mayfair with a 1275GT engine in it so I had combined luxury with speed and boy did it handle! I had spacers on the back wheels to make them wider for smoother cornering, roll cage, strap down bonnet and set of 6 spot lamps and used to tear arse it down country lanes seeing how much I could get the back end kicking out...so to see the British racing green open-top mini and the red Cooper left to rot is heart-wrenching, again great video though.

    I'm a classic car dealer, I simply buy at the right time.
    Back in the mid 90s I was picking up escort mk2's and ford capris for around £100-£150, in roadworthy good clean condition ' I have plenty of cheap dry storage I rent in various places to keep them, late 90s I was picking up mk 1 Vauxhall Cavaliers and original Austin metros and minis, same kind of price, most of these vehicles had nothing spent on them, they were just stored and started up occasionally.
    Within 5 years they were up for sale for around 10 times what I paid and selling like hotcakes.
    Best future classic to buy is a common road car, one people had or parents had or they remember seeing around a lot.
    Buy the vehicle when it's close to 20 years old, by then it'll be at rock bottom price, often advertised as a cheap run around.
    In the last month I've bought 4 ford fiestas, all in pretty good Nick, roadworthy, I paid £250-300 each for them, 1997-1999 model's, within a couple of year's this model will vanish from the roads, scrapped, a year or 2 later I'll be selling them for £2500-£3000.
    I use some of the cars I buy until the mot runs out..
    E.g. the 1998 fiesta 1250 that I paid £300 for with 9 months mot, recently had new tyres and brakes, it's nippy, economical and isn't full of electrical gadgets that cause so many newer cars to go wrong, it's fairly straightforward and easy to work on if you want.
    Once mot runs out it'll be cleaned up and put into dry storage.
    2021/22 price I'll be asking will be around the £2500-£3000 mark.
    Buying tip for useable cars, it's cheaper better to buy a 14/15 year old car with average mile and no service history than it is an 8or9 year old with no service history.
    Chances are the newer car is being sold just before cam belt, clutch, exhaust etc need replacing, the 14/15 year old car would have already had that done otherwise it'd not still be running.
    I'm talking 10k miles per year with no proof or signs that major parts haven't been replaced.
    Not much of a tip as most would choose the latter option anyway:)
    But I'm not giving anymore away as it's my bread and butter

  • @Its_Cider
    @Its_Cider 5 лет назад +1

    The easy way to tell if the mini's are original coopers are that they will have two fuel tanks, so if at the back of the minis there are two holes either side then that's a cooper.

    • @grahamb5930
      @grahamb5930 5 лет назад

      Depends, the second tank was an option until homologation in 1966, prior to that it could have had a single tank. Same with the oil cooler, it was a factory option until then. Either way it's a shame to leave it rotting

  • @dodgydruid
    @dodgydruid 7 лет назад +2

    The pair of XJS is such a shame, the Mini's are all just bog standard Rover era Mini's, original Cooper's had exterior door hinges and a few different things about 'em, the Triumph Dolomite Sprint the engine alone is worth a heck load o' money and even in that poor state its restored price would see it worth rebuilding. Nice to hear someone say Reliant Robin btw as it piques a few people when they call it a Robin Reliant lol (I own one as my main driver and is such an epic little motor)

    Non of the mini shells were cooper or copper s shells. They had twin fuel tanks with a filler just above both rear lights. Also the 'convertible' mini you mentioned was just a mini with a webasto roof! Non of those minis are anywhere near a grand!
    Also you said the parts could be removed if they were stripped first. That would be theft! Everything belongs to someone! Just because no one is looking after these cars doesn't mean no one owns them'! Really enjoyable to watch though as I'm sure places like this are very few and far between now.
