Hello everyone,

After many years of aching cravings and a couple of searching I finally went ahead and purchased my 1st Mini :-)
A red van with a white roof which was very recently painted and upholstered by it's previous owner and apparently only requires some minor mechanical work done and some interior and body details (dash, carpets, emblems, bonnet clip, transmission and electrical issues).

Here are some pictures of the day I got it and the hauling.

Please let me know your thoughts and/or opinions regarding my purchase :-D
