I thought you could get a basic Mini in the low 20's, and an S model in the high 20's.
At the time when it originally came out, it had the smallest wheelbase around, for good handling and tossability. And the interior was very unique. And then you've got the whole nostalgia thing going on with middle-aged people who remember the original Mini.........So, the high price was understandable at the time.
