-- Classic car values keep climbing, and the iconic MINI is leading the charge. Mini Trader’s new Q2 2025 Classic MINI Market Snapshot reports double‑digit price growth, record buyer traffic, and a sharp rise in listings for both the old mini car and second-hand mini coopers segments.
Market Highlights
- Auction momentum: Recent UK auction results show Rover MINI hammer prices up to £9,720, underscoring renewed collector confidence.
- Valuations rising: Independent guides now put a Rover Mini Cooper Sport in average condition at £17,030, a year‑over‑year increase of roughly 12 percent.
- Restomod spotlight: High‑profile builds such as Ian Callum’s £80k+ restomod have lifted global visibility for classic MINIs, adding further pressure to supply.
Platform data
- Page views for classic mini car listings on Mini Trader climbed 41 percent in Q2.
- Enquiries on used mini coopers rose 26 percent quarter‑over‑quarter.
- Average listing time for pre‑2000 MINIs fell from 18 days to 12 days.
“Classic MINIs have crossed from niche hobby to mainstream asset,” said Ikram Nagdawala, Founder of Mini Trader. “Our snapshot shows buyers moving quickly on quality stock, whether they want a show‑ready Rover or a daily‑driver Cooper. Supply is tightening, and prices reflect that reality.”
Why It Matters
Collectors are not the only winners. Everyday motorists looking for characterful city cars are now competing with investors. With tariffs and new‑car price uncertainty on the horizon, many are locking in classics today instead of waiting. The data suggests the market will stay active through year‑end.
