Im having to sell the mini due to uni commitments, a lack of money, no spare time for a job and no where to keep the car.

So I just want to thank everyone whos helped me out and Ive really enjoyed this forum, its been a great experience and I hope to be a part of it again in the future!

Thank you!

Shame, but all the best with your Uni and hope you’re able to come back soon.

Life just gets in the way sometimes.
Enjoy Uni!

I sold my Mini back in around 1988 the money went towards a deposit on our first house (again a good cause). Got a replacement in 1999 (so Mini less for 11 years) we now have 3 in the family. They are an itch that gets harder to scratch. You will be back but my advice would be don't leave it longer than can be helped as they are going up in value all the time. Good luck with Uni and you are absolutely doing the right thing, I would sell my Mini again tomorrow to aid my daughter through Uni if needed.

Doing geography at Preston because my Grandad's only down the road so it was a place to keep the car. Hoping to do a masters at Edinburgh and then somehow get into engineering eventually too. However, still not really sure exactly what I want to do in life. I'll let you all know how I've got on once I'm back with my 'new' mini. 

 

Keeping my fingers crossed that they don't go up in price too much.. 

 

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and I'll miss you all!

Need to sell it to afford carrying on at uni unfortunately. I’ll see if there’s anything else I can sell though.
