About The Mini Exchange
Where Classic Mini enthusiasts connect, trade, and share their passion for these iconic British cars
Our Story
The Mini Exchange is part of the Classic Mini DIY family—a community-driven platform dedicated to preserving and celebrating the legacy of Classic Mini Coopers (1959-2000). What started as a resource for DIY enthusiasts has grown into a comprehensive marketplace connecting buyers and sellers worldwide.
We believe that every Classic Mini has a story to tell, and every enthusiast deserves a platform that understands what makes these cars special. Whether it's a concours-ready Cooper S or a project car waiting for its next chapter, The Mini Exchange is built for the Mini community, by the Mini community.
