Barn find bonanza - One of the first ever Mini's sold for £20,000 at the weekend, three times its estimate.
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.
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.
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.
