Hi all.
I'm looking at buying a mini as I believe these next few years will be the last chance before the prices go mad and make it near impossible to own one!
I have minimal ability when it comes to spanners so can't really buy a mini that needs a full restoration because my wallet is no where near big enough to pay someone else to do everything.
How much should I be looking to pay for a mini? I want it to be clean (within reason) and would love to try and do a B16 engine swap which I saw a guy called Kieran on here do.
I would be looking to spend around £2000 on a mini as a starting point, but i'm not sure if this is going to get me something decent that won't break down or be rotten.
I would love to hear what you folks (the specialists that know what to look for) have to say and really appreciate any advice.
Is it best to stay away from eBay and look on places like carandclassic.co.uk?
Many thanks
Sam

EDIT: here is one I saw on carandclassic, what do you guys think?
