"THE PRISONER" MINI MOKE
Many of you may recollect the news item some time ago about "The Prisoner" Mini Moke which was sold at the NEC Classic Car Auction at the weekend.
It sold for £62,000 (Hammer Price) – which is thought to be a new auction world record.
The Auctioneers said "It was sold by a private vendor who had spent thousands on the car. He sold with a heavy heart and sold as he was not using the car as much as he would have liked."
