Hello everyone.
I've wanted a Mini for about 30 years, and yesterday I finally bought one!
I registered on this forum 13 years ago for reasons I cannot remember, but never posted until now.
Anyway, here it is!
It's a Rover Mini Special (What they called the City in Europe, I live in SW France) first registered in Jan 1991. It's only done about 33,000 miles.
Being French it has opening rear windows as standard, but the rest was as a Mini City. This one has had a restoration and an interior retrim some years ago, and is absolutely rust free, even has the original exhaust! It drives great and it's all oil tight.
The last owner never took it out in the rain, and was a mechanic with the military, and went over everything mechanical with obsessive precision. The suspension is basically brand new. He wasn't an electrician though, so there's a small list of electrical items to fix.
