Minis in the Auctions In Japan
Posted: Tue May 19, 2015 12:15 pm
I am on the auctions most nights, and thought I might post up the odd mini I see for anyone interested to look at them, I have seen similar threads on other forums that are popular maybe this will give someone some inspiration. I might also throw in the odd link to parts I have seen in UP Garage or Yahoo Auctions Japan.
Wheel search for 101.6 Yahoo Japan

For the auctions, I access the auction catalogue through a mates website http://www.jdmauctionwatch.com I might set up a facebook page for Older classics in the auctions but dedicating time to posting stuff daily is hard to commit too, the amount of older European cars in the auctions is amazing, so far I have only imported Japanese cars but at some point I will bring in a traveller for myself and maybe a delta integralle to keep my Subaru Company.
Accessing JDM Auction Watch is free if you need advice on importing if I can answer your questions feel free to ask. It's not a cheap option, and for most people wouldn't be an option as the time involved 10-12 weeks plus the costs will out weigh the benefits.
The cheapest mini you will import will still cost in the area of €4,000 by the time shipping, fees and taxes are paid so you will be as well try find something closer to home, the benefits though are Jap cars are cleaner you have a huge choice and they are well maintained and properly assessed and graded both in the auction houses and by what ever agent you use and the buyers they have in the auctions.
Below are some from the last two weeks worth of sales
Dealer stock available through the auction
