Car Forum / MINI / November 2006original price of minis...
Hi, Always loved them, so I've been looking to do a piece of university work on the supply / demand figures of the mini :) I've got the production numbers from the excellant http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/ but I was after the prices of them as well... My question was, does anyone know where I'd be able to get hold of some information about the original cost of the minis, ie in the year that they were made? ideally from 1959 - 2000 (the complete run), but any subset of that would be great... I'd be really grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction! Cheers, Chris >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Chris probably something like this: http://www.minipower.org/miniprice.htm for the UK? ;-) FWIW, Theo van den Bogaard wowsers... that's incredible! Thanks Theo :) > >Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > FWIW, > Theo van den Bogaard > wowsers... that's incredible! > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >>FWIW, >>Theo van den Bogaard Wow...the old mini cost more than the new mini. hehe - I've just noticed that those are dutch prices :) guess my study might be along the lines of "mini demand in Holland" :) >hehe - I've just noticed that those are dutch prices :) guess my study >might be along the lines of "mini demand in Holland" :) .. either that or if you're studying economy: the exchange rate of the GBP to DFL over the years the Mini was produced .. (It's all in DFL and not Euro's, so theoretically you would only need the exchange rate of each year to convert to GBP) the first line in the graph: http://drcwww.uvt.nl/~bogaard/tijdl.htm gives some sales figures for Holland. HTH, Theo van den Bogaard Ofcourse deduct import duty etc etc >> hehe - I've just noticed that those are dutch prices :) guess my study >> might be along the lines of "mini demand in Holland" :) [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > HTH, > Theo van den Bogaard > Ofcourse deduct import duty etc etc Import from the UK , to the UK? >> Ofcourse deduct import duty etc etc >> > Import from the UK , to the UK?

No...dick head...I fully comprehend the question. Again...why are you saying it was imported from the UK, to the UK? Sounds like the government is giving you a f.ck job. >>>> Ofcourse deduct import duty etc etc >>>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > saying it was imported from the UK, to the UK? Sounds like the > government is giving you a f.ck job. Well not a clue as usual - which YOU snipped BTW - now where are the prices being quoted from???????? Pot Kettle Black > hehe - I've just noticed that those are dutch prices :) guess my > study > might be along the lines of "mini demand in Holland" > Well not a clue as usual - which YOU snipped BTW - now where are the > prices being quoted from???????? Pot Kettle Black No...I'm black. Don't you know how to read previous posts? You would then see what was snipped, prices from UK to UK. Some gutless fuckwit desperately cowering behind madmax <madmaxx@nvbell.net> desperately attempted to bullshit its way out of its predicament after getting done like a f.cking dinner, as always, and fooled absolutely no one at all, as always. > Some gutless fuckwit desperately cowering behind > madmax <madmaxx@nvbell.net> desperately > attempted to bullshit its way out of its predicament > after getting done like a f.cking dinner, as always, > and fooled absolutely no one at all, as always. Oh Chucky...you have such a way with words...you remind me of barspeedo. Always worried about his loss of hair. Maxine in drag > Ofcourse deduct import duty etc etc But there may have been VAT in lieu of other duty. Maybe it stayed the same value. >>> hehe - I've just noticed that those are dutch prices :) guess my study >>> might be along the lines of "mini demand in Holland" :) [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> HTH, >> Theo van den Bogaard >> Ofcourse deduct import duty etc etc > >But there may have been VAT in lieu of other duty. Maybe it stayed the >same value. apart from VAT (BTW in Dutch) we have BPM - extra tax on cars because they are considered 'luxury goods' .. can't remember when that was first introduced .. VAT rates may have changed over the years of production of the Mini of course ..

Taffy >> >> Ofcourse deduct import duty etc etc >> > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > >Taffy could be any of the above, and even CKD assembly in Holland itself .. Italy - the (or at least part of the) innocenti range was on sale here Spain - the dutch Jubilee model was produced in spain Belgium - the 1100 special's came from there Portugal - moke's of course FWIW, Theo van den Bogaard >>>>>Ofcourse deduct import duty etc etc >>>> [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > FWIW, > Theo van den Bogaard Could be any of the below....swing high sweet boy. >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Chris One of the selling points of the original Mini was that it should be under £500, so the first ones were £497 including purchase tax. A heater and carpets were extra, rubber mats were standard (just as well because they leaked like sieves). The first vans were £340 (no purchase tax) I think, passenger seat extra. You need to adjust the prices to take account of inflation. This site http://www.wolfbane.com/rpi.htm has the (amazing) figures  SignatureDavid Toft Try contacting the Heritage Motor Centre because their sure to have records there, but I'm sure the prices and other information has been published in lots of Mini Books over the years too. Taffy Thanks for all your help guys - I'll have a dig at the heritage motor centre to try to get the equivalent prices because, like you say David, I need to adjust for inflation and it's proving incredibly difficult to find the dutch inflation rates (at least on the internet...)!
