Hi Mini guys and girls!
The time has come, unfortunately, to say goodbye to my Mini.. I'm copying and pasting the info below that I'm using for the ads so sorry if it's all a bit obvious to you guys in the know!
Looking for £3700, but will take a few hundred quid off for a Mini Forum member!

I have owned this car for close to 4 years now, in which I have been slowly increasing the spec and look of the car, in-keeping with the Classic Mini beauty. Major engine components have not been played with so everything is still running as smooth as it came out of the factory and is incredibly reliable. The 1275cc engine pulls strong in every gear and sits comfortably at 70mph on motorways.
This car gets a lot of comments and is a real head-turner. There are a lot of extras added here so have a read through the list below, also including maintenance work.
