Barn-find Mini set to make £10k after 40 years of disrepair

The way classic – or as AOL Cars editor Baggott would put it, 'proper' – Minis hold their value is a well documented. Some 1990s examples can even reach over £12,000 – pretty impressive when a brand new hatch starts from just over £11,000, one must admit.

It's even more impressive, then, that one particular Mini – pictured above – is up for auction at Bonhams with an estimate of £10,000, despite being more than a little rough around the edges.
