Recently drove it 5 monthes without issue until the head gasket let go, due to running lean on the wrong carb I put on.
It's a 1380cc 1985 aswell.

alought the old mini has more room inside...not sure how tho lmao
Because the newer Mini isn't nearly as well packaged and space efficient inside as an old one.

My mpi is my daily, she's a 2001 and she's let me down 2001 times
serviced regularly i always get little things going on it and recently the gearbox went, clogged my oil pump up and so the engine followed, just shows how much better the earlier minis are from what everybody has wrote above.
Ouch!


Only negative point is that the second gear is a bit crunchy
