Mine started life as a 30.

100 squid can't be bad! You're lucky to get a mini in any state for under a grand now!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

The guy needed it gone quick sharp. So i took advantage of the situation!

I would seriously think about keeping it intact.

In my opinion, the best limited edition out there. They fetch good money well restored.

If you want something to modify, then best start with a City or Mayfair.

This has been bobbling around my head, but the roof has started to rot, so my idea was to plonk a fb one on there for ease.

Its early days yet like. Nice little motor though

never thought i would say this but........ restore it to original

one of the best looking standard minis imo

Ours yesterday:



Lovely. Great learners car, 998 etc but also the leathers seats, leather rimmed wheel, alloys, body coloured arches etc.

Still need to add the stripes though.

Keep it standard. Like people say, one of the best LE's.

I'll be putting a new roof skin on my clubby if you want to see it being done. I also have a spare old roof for patches.

they are right, keep it as close to standard as poss, thats been my plan with the british open classic (imo the best LE made, purely because of the leccy webasto), think of it as an investment, aswell as a pita challenge!!

If you fancy making a quick buck on it Mike I may have an interested party.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Depends on how much of a buck it is lol
