This is currently being debated on another forum I frequent and it didn't half make me laugh, but to be honest I was equally horrified.
Back in August, a little Mini 1275GT sold through Collecting Cars, a pretty tatty example but low miles, a sketchy back story and a sought after rare colour. It sold for about £13.5k..
Now, fast forward a month or so to now, and the very same car comes up on another auction site, only now, I kid you not.... someone's thrown some "barn find dust" over it and is evidently set to be hoping to make a few quid given the £16k estimate. I'd never have thought in all my days that I'd see the day when covering a car with muck made it more valuable or saleable. Before and after pics below:
As it appeared on CC in August.
...and now. With added dust.
Absolutely nuts!
