You choose: Heerey or Whitby?

A great number of Mini based cars has been sold in the last couple of months, I believe, and I can hardly keep up with the ones being offered for sale. But let's have a look at this duo, spotted by Maximum Mini readers recently as being offered for sale. First of them is a Heerey GTM of 1971 seen by reader Thomas at the Bingley Hall Mini meet of last weekend. It is powered by a rebuilt 1310 engine and comes with heated wind screen, roll cage and much more. If it has not been sold yet, I'm sure it will be soon with a £5,500 price. Let me know if you need the seller's contacts and I'll flash them over.

Perhaps quite the opposite, price wise and as vehicle too, is a Whitby Mini Warrior spotted by reader Nicolas Roy for sale in Nice, southern France. It's a great example of the species and according to the ad it comes with 1300 power, much-improved braking and cooling system, new tyres, removable Land Rover style hardtop and full registration. Price? €17,990... See the ad here. 

Thanks all for letting me know, and keep them coming!

Seen for sale at Bingley Hall last weekend: a 1971 Heerey 1-3 registered JTJ 774K

This GTM comes with extensive spec list and appears to be ready to be enjoyed

This is the only picture I had of it in the files and I can't remember where that came from

Over to southern France, where this Whitby Mini Warrior is being offered for sale

Said to be just one of six survivors, but I wonder if that is true. It's a lovely car though

It spent the last 10 years with its last owner in Nice on French plates, or so it is believed

1300 engine, improved brakes and improved cooling system, says the ad

Neat and tidy. But it comes at a price: €17,990 seems very steep to me
