The Clubman looks great, I have a soft spot for them especially in that colour, is it yours?
Its around my price range but doubt if I dare own something like that. Bet you can't get it seviced at the local garage propely and pick up parts in any old motor factors. This would worry me because I have little experience with car maintenance so I imagine for every repair geting the right part would be problematic. I could learn I am a qualified electrican and fitter but worked maily on locomotives in the railway industry. However that was a long time ago and I am a nurse now....have to look after my hands lol.
Is it possible to own a reliable stock Mini these days?

Hi Siggy
Whats the rust like generaly? is it reliable (start everday) I need that for work. Tax except is a good bonus. Do you have log book with all the entries right. Sorry too many questioin I know
I have shown it the boys who has bedrooms full of mini models and pictues. They also watch italian Job 1& 2 on dvd weekly. my mini mags are never cout if there room
We like it, Is that price negotiaoble? Its also so long way to vist becuae I belive you are Harrogate, But would think I would have to see a car before bidding.
How do I go about insurance with all the mods. Unfortunatley I have just lost my no claims.
I also have a car for sale (a nissan Almera li6 on a P plate) I know these car run forever and leave little maintence jus around 50 000 on clock with full service history....fancy it? lol

He lives in wakefield west yorkshire.

I can vouch that the car is stunning and there is no visible rust. I adore the car and i wish i had the money for it. I have never heard dave say it to have not started or even miss a beat for that matter.

Since dave works with mini's daily, this is one guy i would definatly trust knowing things have been done right.

PS. he his sellin it due to moving. Good luck dave.
