Don't know if any of you are familar with the Barrett-Jackson Car Search TV Show (seen on the American Cable channel, "SpeedTV")
The premise of the show involves three teams who get $100,000 USD and use the money to buy and sell cars on the B-J auction. The profit goes to charity and the winning team gets a prize.
Last week, one team bought a Classic Mini-Cooper from the new Italian Job movie (the one that Charlize Theron drives) for $5000 (!!!).
Seems that the studios use a car and then sell it for what ever they think is fair. This Mini was in mint condition. The purchase price was so far out of line that the team was disqualified from the contest.
From what I hear, the car was just on sale on eBay yeaterday and sold for $39,000. Wow!
