I can assure everyone that Mike's baskets were hand made local to me by English craftsmen using Somerset willow, and are not Chinese knockoffs.
I haven't had any made for many years as they costs involved (manufacture and shipping) were getting difficult to justify when people wouldn't pay the price required for the quality involved...

I think Kats just saying the Captains price is a good one
"Everybody should own a MINI at some point, or you are incomplete as a human being" - James May
"WET COOPER", Partsguy1 (Terry Snell of Penticton BC ) - Could you send the money for the unpaid parts and court fees.
Ordered so by a Judge

Really poor form to do this to a guy just trying to sell something. That's permanently scared me from selling stuff here.

I must disagree Big Al... If those are the ones that also fit under the back of the early Countryman or the various Woody wagon back seats, $250 is not bad for a pair. I'm convinced that having the "BMC Picnic Basket Option' made all the difference for my Friend Dwight when his 62 Woody that I mostly built took the "Best OF Show" at the Portland All British Field meet a couple of years ago! Yes it's a stunning car with a Supercharged 1380, and many custom touches, but looks painfully stock, and the little picnic basket about made the judges cry!!

I have a pair of the wicker baskets made to fit under the rear seats of classic minis that I bought from Alex probably 10 years ago or so. The baskets were originally sold by dealers as an option when these cars were new. They are made with a taper to fit especially under the rear seats of minis. (picture attached)I sold the mini that I used them in, so I no longer have a use for them right now. The mini I still have is a Rover Mini Cabriolet which has a speaker board under the seat so it won't fit. However, knowing me, I will some day own another classic mini that I COULD use them in. As far as I know these are rare if not non existent anymore. These are literally like new. I put them under the seat and that is where they stayed for years...unmolested. They sort of "finish off a mini". I was told that they were worth $250 for the pair...plus shipping. So, if anyone is interested, let me know before I change my mind. I figure that I would put them out there and see if there is interest. If not, I will keep them for the next classic mini I buy.
Contact me via email by going to my profile if interested.
