Hello all, hopefully this will help my mini search!

I'm looking for a mini with an MOT in the Cornwall or Devon area. Preferably a 998 but will consider anything!

Doesn't have to be perfect but not too much body work if that's possible! Dont mind something that needs a new spray job. The closer to standard the better.

Hope some one on here can help!

Cheers guys :)

my uncles has one for £1700 with mg 1275 engine and mot but were in south wales

I'm guessing the engine isn't standard? It has to be standard for Insurance purposes... Wouldn't mind taking a look though if you link me to it?

Thanks though!

no tis not standard its meant to be a 998 so might be a bit higher on the insurance will edit this post in a sec with the link

Doesn't look too bad but it will be on temp insurance and temp insurance doesn't exist for modified minis unfortunately.

Thanks though!

Haha, I really wanted this but it's got an uprated exhaust and suspension I think? Considered it for a while!

You can have mine all standard all for £1500 bargin ! Spent well over that doing it up lol :)

Why does it have to be completely standard? Are you planning on keeping whatever mini u get standard?

I think your a bit far from me I'm afraid!

It has to be driven on temp insurance for the next few months and no one will insure a car modified in the smallest way. I don't mind keeping a car standard after that but there would be a few little things I would want to do depending on what I got :)

Thanks for the offer! It looks good but (and this is going to sound really silly) I'm not a fan of red mini's (something to do with a red Honda C90 which turned out the have a bad rust problem haha) I would certainly consider one but I think I'll hold out for a bit longer.

Thanks though! Appreciate your help!

[matthewrussell]

Lol kk buddy :) yeah I wasn't a fan of red to until got this lol :)
