Hi guys,

I've just bought another Mini, a Studio 2. I know it's one of Rover's many "special editions" but i was just wondering whether there is actually anything particulatly special about it apart from the interior and the big 2 on the doors?

Its mint condition and has only done 30,000 miles from new! Paid £900 to my friend's mum who bought the car new!

Cheers

Tom

Mine was once a Studio 2 before it turned to Downton, they have a 3.1 diff, with high compression pistons, apart from interior trim, colour, and decals they are pretty much mainstream, heres a link to the brochure :

What colour is it? Nordic Blue is the best obviously....

We need some pics too!

Didn't Limited Edition Mini's count as 1/3 of Roer's Mini Sales ?

Got my old decals from my old skins hung up in the garage (showing about 5mm of filler between the metal and paint )

Ive got a set of gen decals incase I ever want to get back into 90' Chic

It is indeed blue

I was just wondering whether or not to start fiddling with lots of bits or whether to make a few changes, it looks like i will be making some changes. I will keep the colour and decals though.

Going to pick it up on Thursday so will put pics up then

Also, you say 3.1 diff. What does that mean in laymans terms? My mini city E is a different ratio i believe, but what does it mean?

sounds like a bargain, well done fella!!

the bigger the number, the quicker the car will accelerate higher revs will be in top gear,
a city E has a 2.9FD (i think) which means its a better cruiser but not rocket accelerating.

No pics yet, too dark/ wet.

Going through all the paperwork it still has the full Rover folder with price lists of optional extras and other models of the time. As well as its service history book and owners manual!

Still can't believe it when i look down and see 28k miles on the clock!

The engine bay could do with a new coat of paint. Does anyone know the name of the yellow they painted the blocks, and if it's still available?

Good look finding it, i have looked and looked and couldnt get anything, so i went to a paint shop and got the closest thing possible mixed up.

There are a few spots of rust that need busting. I was thinking of getting the car fully resprayed after. Does anyone know any good paint shops in the Surrey/ Hampshire area? Also, are the decals for the studio 2 easily available?
