In my opinion I wouldnt touch them due to the discrepancy in the service history and the recorded miles. He says the speedo was changed after the last service but are the miles not recorded on the ecu.
It could be genuine but personaly I would be put off by this unless there is documentation to back up his story.
EDIT
Forgot to mention this is the white one

I just re-read that  i like the sarcastic answer he gave to one of the questions 
I hate it when sellers put a lower mileage in the box to get you interested then it turns out to be and extra 100k on top cos the clock has gone round. Mini's are the worst for this.

Matt that's about what you expect from Mr Saville unfortunately. It's amazing what some of the parts are being sold (and bought for!).

well i have to say that on ebay some of his prices are top end, but to be fair
to the bloke when i had an emergency, some low life smashed drivers window to break in,
i phoned him and he got a window out of a car ready for me, was very helpful and only wanted a tenner for it.
we then did a very fair deal on a pristine rear bumper for my scorp, and hopefully will have a deal on
some injectors.
i think once he gets to know you a bit the prices are much fairer and negotiable.....

The white one is a typical "you think you have a low mileage minter scam"
He would quote the proper mileage clearly & not try & fool someone into thinking it was barely run in if he was a honest chap.
Kinds of put's you off his other don't it 
Once had a guy here who thought he had a 35,000 mile Cossie, the wear signs & general condition of it told me it was way over 100,000 at least.
Yet the speedo showed just under 35,000

I have met Mr Saville and he is actually quite a pleasent person. Yes the prices are a bit higher but once you get to know him he will negotiate.
