Hi Kermy,
Yes, I'm open to that. There's not really a flat finder's fee. It would depend on the quality of the lead and what it is for.

Highest priority is given for Minis that are not advertised elsewhere. (There are a variety of options for sellers, including pocket listings.)

Best to contact me offline to discuss tips or referrals, or if you have a Mini of your own that you might consider sending to a new home.

Feel free to contact me offline for my thoughts about what your Mini might be worth in today's market.

Even with the virus craziness going on, I have a lot more potential buyers waiting than I have Minis to offer them. (Anywhere from project to pristine.)

Do you give a financial reward for leads?

A quickie Google search for Images came up with what is apparently another post that you had made online in 2019?

Lost Mini (not stolen)

EDIT: Oops, looks like MiniMania's site automatically puts asterisks instead of offensive words like "****" so you will use the same link above, but add in the letters "h-i-t" so that the website name is A-U-T-O-[s][h][i][t]-E.com

It's a pretty long shot, but I've sold, imported or brokered 300+ classic Minis since I started in 1999. You might spend some time on my website to see if it might be there somewhere? If it is, I may be able to connect you with the current or former owner(s).

CAUTION - SHAMELESS PLUG FOLLOWS: Also, if anyone knows of classic Minis that might be available, the links, leads and tips would be greatly appreciated! Please contact me offline...

Sorry for the mega late reply here. I thought I'd set up notifications to say when I have received replies but have obviously missed them or more likely I set it up wrong.

I spoke to my friend about it today. It was sold to a couple in Texas, that's apparently all they know. 

Good idea about the email Spank, I'll do that.

Someone might have information to provide you that they do not wish to make public, so I recommend you enable the ability for members to see you email in your profile so they can email you privately with possible help.

It is indeed. Some of the Mini clubs have long memories, so if a city or even a State is known, that would be a good starting point.

I'm not sure, I'll see if I can find out. I suppose it is quite a big place after all isn't it.

Where in the USA was it sold to?

Hi, 

I'm posting about a Mini that was exported to the USA in the 1970s. It belonged to a friends Dad, who rallied it in the 1960s and 70's. 

Unfortunately, by the mid 1970's he had a young family and the car wasn't used anymore and he reluctantly sold it. 

It was bought and exported to the USA. 

The original owner is still alive, although is in his 80's now. His son was wondering that as it was probably bought for competition use, whether there is any record of what happened to it or if by some miracle it still exists.

This is the only photo I have of it:



If anyone can suggest any other good forums to post on or any good sites to visit to try and find information, that would also be appreciated. 

Scotty
