Specifically in the UK, as well as in Europe generally. What do you guys use? I've been looking for a Mini (a pre-1976 specifically) but the only sites with decent results for cars that older are mobile.de and autoscout24 and there's just not much there. AutoTrader in the UK doesn't seem to have very many older cars and classiccars.co.uk seems to only have ads for the best of the best (read: expensive). Where does the British everyman (and not a well-heeled descendant of Downton Abbey-ites) advertise his older car for sale?
And to piggyback on this thread, what is the going rate for a decent condition (read: no rot) older Mini (spec doesn't matter much) in the UK these days?

No rot older mini's I have sen go for anywhere from 1500 - 3000+. I only use www.carandclassic.co.uk for a decent but pricey selection. My last few cars have been from Loot (classified ads website in UK - bmw 316 auto for 380) eBay (saab 900 unfinished project - 300) Saying that though it has got much harder in the last few years |

Car and classic is a good bet, as is gumtree - you get all sorts on there.

I use carandclassic.co.uk but about 6 years ago I went to my local newspaper shop where. My newsagent told me he was just putting an ad up for someone that was selling. A old mini phoned the chap up and went to see it turned out to be an early 60s 850 still got it and I love it . I did stand on dog s##t as soon as I left my house that day so it was a lucky day. Good luck with your search .

Gumtree is good for cheap tat but you don't get much classic stuff. I also find their search function a bit hit and miss.
The online version of Autotrader seems to have lost the classic section the print version had. Or maybe I'm just too stupid to find it?
That leaves EBay as the main game in town, it would seem!
