Hi
I have been looking at buying a mini now for about.... 20 years. I think I am going to do it this time though.
I currently drive a VW T6 which I plan on keeping but 90% of the time I drive it on my own. its a 8 seater!
The thing i hate most about cars is that they are a depreciating asset and cost a fortune to run. a mini on the other hand is an appreciating asset and you can work on it yourself.
So with that in mind...
A car that I would do a very occasional commute in, like once a month if that. nipping to the shops in or dropping a kid of at a club. probably about 1k miles a year all town miles. I would like it to be a historic so I don't have to pay road tax. I would like to spend up to about 5k (i know this isn't much) and don;t mind if it needs a bit of work on it.
I live in a bit of a hilly area, nothing crazy just a few steepish but short hills.
So, Can anyone make any recommendations? are the rover minis £210 a year tax?
would the 850 Austins be too slow? I know a lot of questions here. Sorry!
