Austin Seven Mini, Nr. 8. What is it worth to you?

Here are two views on XLL27.

a. What you see:
A very tired - hanging on one ear - rusty and poor maintained 53 year old Austin Seven in need of a full restoration to be of any use for somebody who needs a Mini. You can get a used Mini in usable condition as from GBP 500

b. What you get:  
probably the last unspoilt, unrestored, 90% orginal (one door is replaced) example of the pre-series Austin Seven Mini that not only is an icon of the early sixties. But also the car that changed the face of the automotive world up to this day. Probably 75% of all new cars use the concept of the transverse placed engine with frontwheel drive. To own this pure unmolested milestone makes the auction estimate of Euro 15-18.000 look like a give away.
