  Stock Shortage Keeping Auction Prices High 29 May 2009 (News)
  While the trade is wary of SAAB 1.9 diesels, 9-3 convertibles seem to be finding their feet again with a selection of 06s and 07s selling for between £10,600 and £11,350. An 07 MINI Cooper S Sidewalk convertible, now the old model, made a staggering £15,700. And even an 06 Beetle 1.6 convertible made £9,000. But star of the day for me at least was the rare Jap Scrap import 1991 classic LandCruiser Prado 2.4TD in the photo with 197k miles (not kilometres, apparently) that sold for £1,700.
