Perhaps the coffin shape is the link?  :)

Sorry, I have a hernia.

 I assumed folk were aware that several of these were sold from a Bee Gee Estate a couple of years ago.

al i never understood the bee gees comment from you but it was the coffin comment that was in poor taste - not amusing in the slightest in the week of Robin Gibbs funeral

I cant see any coffin comment by Al, only one by Millstone. Unless he removed it.

I think there were three Mini El on the Estate. I believe one went to the Bubblecar Museum. I bid on one and failed to win. They were down near Chichester I think. So this one is near that source. At a guess two years ago on eBay?

They used soft top ones at the Barcelona games as camera and support vehicles, no exhaust for athalites to ingest.

You are correct Al, it was a White soft top that was for sale. I think the seller has something to do with C5alive site but I don't think it made it's reserve.

I always fancied one of these having seen one very early on in production during a tour of North Holland in my Schmitt but I do not live in an area where it would be of great use. So purely a collectable to me. If you were to live in a conurbation and had a commute with a suitable route it would be an option for real use, a much better home. Then a soft top is not perhaps the best answer.

So anyone from here buy the El?
