Any mini pre 2000, however you can buy a heritage shell and build a brand new car with all new parts and get it on a 2018 reg

 

 

I don't think you could register it as a new 2018 car as the safety tests it would need to pass would be almost impossible to meet with a heritage shell. These are designed to replace 'worn' out shells so would then identify as the car they were replacing. Only legal way to 're-shell' a Mini.

Probably be cheaper and more enjoyable to come to Oz/ NZ for a holiday and buying something to ship back to the UK. Oz at least it would be a Mk1 and we don't know what oversills are. They corrosion you guys experience is unheard of over here... 


That's true 😁 cover sills caus major issues 😂
