Barn find bonanza - One of the first ever Mini's sold for £20,000 at the weekend, three times its estimate.<br />
<br />
One of the first Mini's to ever come off the production line in 1959, the rather 'tired' example has been languishing in a garage for over 40 years. <br />
<br />
In 1974, after passing through the hands of two owners, the dinky red motor was holed away in a garage, where it remained until this year. <br />
<br />
It's lucky owner, who forgot all about his old car, had decided to cash in on the booming market for Minis and consigned it for sale with Bonhams.
