What's the cheapest I can get hold of a mini for.

I'm looking for something with no mod's, just standard but something that's been looked after.

How much should I expect to pay for what?

i was really lucky and managed to get mine for £425 completely unmodified and in really good condidtion, the husband of the lady who owned it wax-olyed it twice a year! :w00t: but its really difficult to find a mini thats completly unmodified because its so much fun to play with them :w00t:

same here,my mini was an unmolested city with 32,000 gen miles with all old mot's and lots of welding done! the proper way though,bought it from a lady with a couple of kids! it was her first car and she was crying when i bought it of her. sent a few pics of it after modding it and she was quite happy to see it in a non standard way :w00t:. meant to say mines cost around a £1000,can't remember the exact figure though :erm:

bought resonable ones in the past from £500 - £2500! Ranging from 1098 clubmans to 1340 monsters!!

the best bargain I got was a brown mayfair for £150, needed a little welding and a rear subframe (i already had one) and I sold it on for £900!!

lol the lady i bought mine off was nearly cryin as well, and she couldnt bear to come out of the house to see it drive away, it was really sweet actually, she'd had it like, 25 years, and she took my hand and went, "take good care of it" i almost felt a bit guilty taking it away from her!

Got two one for £155 and one for £109 ebay rules the more expensive one needs the most work and the cheaper one should be a weekends worth of work to get it back on the road!
