Wanted a mk1, 2 or 3 tax exempt. Anything considered. Don't mind a bit of work but not really after a total restoration job.
Would buy a minter if the price was right (less than 5k) Don't mind modified as long as its retro/period looking.
Only looking as i have spend too much time and money on my mk1 to take it out if the weather isn't brilliant(sad but true).
Would consider a road/track day mini for a bit of fun. Must be priced sensibly. Send me some info and i'll tell you if i am interested. Thanks Steve west midlands

Yes i had a look but its not for me although i like the rear light conversion. I prefer roundnose no skirts and 10" wheels proper retro/old school. Good project for someone though Thanks Steve

[mk3 Cooper S]

Just noticed your budget.

Don't come much more retro than this?

[Clubber Lang]

• Thats more like it. Any details?

I am ideally looking around £2500 so i won't be frightened to use it. My present mini has over 4 times this spent on it and i am not taking it out in the rain if i can help it so kinda spoils the fun really. I would really like something that is solid and pretty rust free though if possible. Engine and box not too much of a problem as i can soon sort this as i have access to a 1275 metro unit but if its already sorted all the better. I do know my way round a mini though so no rotboxes full of filler and definately no wide oversills as i will end up ripping them off again.

• £5k is for a nice mk1 or mk2 though lol!

You can't sell the mk3??!!!

[oltonlad]

[mk3 Cooper S]

Never considered it before but I do need some space.

Car has done 43k from new, Original unwelded floors. rear subframe etc, 100% genuine, tidy condition but not mint.

[blacktulip]

still looking steve? been a long old time lol.

[Shifty]

If you sell the mk3 cooper s then that makes your user name redundant, which then give me free reign to change it something more "appropriate"??

(Not that I'm trying to put you off selling it that is)

[mk3 Cooper S]

lol, does it lnvolve antiques and sunbeds!!! lol

[Shifty]

You can read me like a book!!

[Clubber Lang]

Hi Blacktulip, looking again! lol! My mk1 is almost finished and although i started out building a car to thrash about in i have built what has turned out to be a pretty much close to concours car hence looking out for another. I have a build thread on mk1-performance-conversions.co.uk in our cars and projects under mk1-bitsa if you want to take a look. I always have problems posting pics on here.
Regards Steve
