got one in the end - such a fun car shame there's not more like this in the country

Thats nice!

Look after it, the late ones do tend to rust a fair bit. She keeping it garaged?

Longjing

They're wicked little cars. Still a fantastic display of design skills too, incredibly compact.

hi rich, did you get your car from mini man by any chance ? my mate knows the body man who does all of mini mans work. no offence, not saying that it needs anything doing ! just to let you know if you ever there is an issue with the body of the mini then i can give you the number. cheers maz

For that sort of money you're surely better getting a mint 1275 cooper mk2 - quicker and will hold it's value well.

Great fun cars, and shows pretty much every other car since how getting the basics right works

Always wanted a Mini
Van or pickup for me

matchmaker

Van with a 1430 or 1480 engine in it

yup and it is from mini man

i ve got it in to her head that she will need to get the body work touched up every year so the mini man body shop number would be great

thanks for the kind words,

Sidhead

cheers, has your other half still got her classic bettle

I just missed out on a flying lap in that mini the first time I was over there last year. he left my boss in his track scooby for dead. the bloke knows the track like the back of his hand plus he doesnt use his breaks much lol. he said instead of going to the pub to get pissed he spends all his cash on flying laps and scaring the ****e of people who are mad enough to get in. Fair play to him

Brun

What's the spec of that - it's ace

Your car looks great, But I am absolutely shocked at how much these go for. Just looked on Autotrader, Some on autotrader are more than I thought they were, new !

It has a Honda 1.6 VT engine. I think it is tuned to 160-180hp
