I have just bought a 1988 Jet Black, it has been garaged since 1992 and has only 25000 miles on the clock!!

Unfortunately the previous owner can't find the keys.

as can be seen, the car is in excellent condition and the interior is suberb.

Lurking in the corner of the garage was another find.

I bought an RSP last year with 13,000 miles on the clock and it had been off the road since 1998. It had been owned by an elderly lady since 1991 but she got Parkinson's disease and was unable to drive from 1998, but she loved her Mini and didn't want to let it go so parked it up in her garage. Finally last year, her son persuaded her to sell it and although she was sad to see it go, she was pleased that it was going to Mini people. I keep in touch with her son who shows her the emails that I send keeping her up to date with want the Mini has been up to. The Mini's odometer now reads 20,000
