How It Works

A simple, straightforward platform for buying and selling Classic Minis

1

Browse Listings

Explore our collection of Classic Minis from around the world. Use filters to narrow down by model, year, location, price range, and condition.

Pro tip: Add listings to your watchlist to track price changes and get notified when sellers respond to your messages.

2

View Detailed Listings

Each listing includes comprehensive details: full specifications, modification history, multiple photo galleries (body, engine, interior, details), and seller notes about condition and history.

What to look for: Check the photos carefully, read the seller's condition notes, and note any modifications or non-original parts. Ask questions if anything is unclear.

3

Contact the Seller

Use our built-in messaging system to ask questions, request additional photos, or arrange a viewing. All communication stays on the platform until you're ready to connect directly.

Safety first: Always inspect the car in person if possible, and consider bringing a knowledgeable friend or mechanic. Never send payment before seeing the vehicle.

4

Complete the Deal

Once you've inspected the Mini and agreed on terms, finalize the purchase. The seller can mark the listing as sold, and you can leave feedback about your experience.

After the purchase: Join the community! Share your new Mini story, ask for advice, and connect with other enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Mini Exchange free to use?

Yes! Creating an account, browsing listings, and posting your own listings is completely free. We're building this platform for the Mini community.

How do payments work?

The Mini Exchange is a marketplace platform—we don't process payments. Buyers and sellers arrange payment and transfer directly. We recommend secure payment methods like bank transfers or escrow services for high-value transactions.

What if there's a dispute with a buyer or seller?

While we provide the platform for connections, transactions happen directly between buyers and sellers. We encourage transparency, thorough communication, and in-person inspections. If you encounter fraudulent activity, please report it to us immediately.

Can I edit my listing after posting?

Absolutely! You can edit your listing details, add or remove photos, update the price, or mark it as sold at any time from your dashboard.

Do you ship Classic Minis, or help with transport?

We don't provide shipping services, but many buyers and sellers arrange transport through specialized classic car shipping companies. Buyers and sellers coordinate transport and costs directly.

What types of Classic Minis can I list?

All Classic Minis from 1959-2000 are welcome! This includes original Minis, Cooper S models, Clubman estates, Travellers, Pickups, Vans, limited editions, and project cars. If it's a Classic Mini, it belongs here.
