Nothings safe now, and older cars are being targeted as there worth more money, and the trouble is that maybe in parts.

should be if youre quick lol, my first mini didnt even last 1 night outside, drove it home, parked up, woke up the next day and it was gone! the DVLA dropped it back to my house and sent us a photo of it, the thief took it down 3 sets of stairs and ended up hitting a tree and a wall, they were trying to get it into the lake!

the front end was pretty rusty anyway so wouldve needed work doing to it but the car came back with no back seats, they broke the front arches off, needed a whole new front end and 2 new doors. we replaced it all and had it all welded up and done proper with new panels but we left the car in a garage and it didnt take long for the floor to start rusting, i only sold it a couple of months back for £30













then it got left in a garage


(yes thats a hole that goes through the whole arch lol)


footwell





the bloke who bought it scrapped it straight away unfortunately
