We are always active buyers of any Mini - whatever age or condition. We are more than happy to collect from any location within the UK. The "new" BMW Minis are now of interest to us as these are now in there 21st year of production, we especially favour the R53 Mini Cooper S
We are also able to offer other car dealers / main dealers the ability to underwrite any Classic mini that you are offered in Part Exchange against your current stock. Being specialist Classic mini dealers you will probably obtain a higher valuation from us compared to your usual trade sources. We have close ties with an American Mini Specialist, whose is continually looking for any older style Mini, we can arrange shipping on your behalf if required. The American market is slightly different to the UK, so please let us know if you have something a little different to sell! The “new” BMW MINI was launched in July 2001 and was an instant hit with the public. A world away from the older, classic models that were first produced in 1959, but a fantastic new addition to the brand, nonetheless. BMW were clever marketeers, the name ‘MINI’ was enough to attract buyers globally, but by producing a simple base model, the MINI ONE, a Mid-range sporty version, the MINI Cooper and then the stunning MINI Cooper S, we were all sold! We are active buyers of all these “new” MINIS. Our commitment to BMW MINIs remains solid, as with the older, classic variants; we seek to repair rather than condemn them to a scrapyard. At the time of writing (January 2021), we have seen 10-year-old BMW MINIs written off by insurance companies for arguably minor reasons such as a dented door or a cracked bumper. So, if you are selling your MINI, we will offer a realistic price with a hassle-free transaction and naturally, strictly conform to all current COVID advice and guidance. Many of these new MINI models are cherished by their owners and understandably so! The optional add-on list from new was exhaustive, to the point that upon final sale, you may have virtually had the car built to your exact specification (which again was a real clever coup by the marketing team at BMW). At Rutland Minis, our valuation will take account of these added factory-fitted extras, after all, they were not cheap! So, if that dreaded call from the garage or MOT testing station comes, informing you that your BMW MINI needs a huge pile of cash spent on it and you feel that your relationship has come to an end; please consider contacting us rather than condemning your car to the crusher. We will arrange collection from your home or garage and payment will be made by bank transfer at least 24 hours prior to collection. Our collection team will carefully load your car onto a dedicated trailer, and they are not averse to a socially distanced cup of tea and a biscuit if you’re offering! We will also ask for all paperwork and keys for the car to be provided on the day of collection. We are more than happy to purchase cars with mechanical issues, accident damage or substantial MOT failure problems. Telephone our founder, David on 07533 488682 to arrange a discussion about the potential sale of your MINI to the Rutland MINIS team.
