Thanks for the suggestion, but really does need to be a 998cc as much as I would like 1275 the insurance is just way too high.
Thanks

Have you looked into insurance a lot? As I've found that there isn't much if any differance in some 1275s over the 998s.. just have to look around and ring a few people..

I agree with the above comment my insurance company specifically told me the engine size will make no difference, what will are mods, age and value

Il 16 restoring for when I drive and I put in for a quote turns out cheaper for a 1275cc than a 998

[richardmoody19]

I've found an open classic which is a 1275 but everytime I've look at insurance for it it always seems to be in the 3000 or more wheras when I look for a 998 they seem to be in the 1000-2000 area

Got a 1980 Mini HL 1000

Completely original, 12 months MOT, 6 months Tax, small patches of surface rust, nothing serious, all major bodywork has been rectified.

Little bit higher than you're budget at £2095 but is a solid, reliable mini that just needs some TLC to make a cracking, original beaut!

If you want more info and pictures and you're seriously interested, PM me and we'll go from there

located in Basingstoke, Hampshire

[richardmoody19]

Both of those cars sound very nice but at the moment I could only stretch to about £1600 at the moment

[Monstrous]

I'm slightly flexible on price but won't let it go for £1600 sorry bud

If you can find a bit more let me know

Selling on behalf of friend will have MOT,
