I'm sure we in the community can give it a positive spin too Yes the seller of the woody Estate did not even introduce himself or answer questions which when looking at a car sight unseen is a good way to get to RNM which is exactly what happened. He would be better off listing it with a dealer and letting them handle the sale for him.

When I pointed out on BaT in the comments that the seller clearly didn't know how to market that wagon, he came back at me like I was nuts, the car would sell it self or something. All he talked about was the paint job, which I hadn't even referenced.....He may own it for a good long while.....
That red Cooper S, with A LOT of discussion about what wasn't 'right' with it, sold for $21,300 on BaT. Now there is another Mk. I Cooper S, unrestored, and nobody is faulting it for being non-original. As things look now, this car is going to sell for BIG money. Like north of $40K is my guess. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-austin-mini-cooper-s-5/
