Hi all
I've just bought a 1991 Neon in quite good nick - only 25,000 miles, which I believe are original.

Where can I find info on this model, and does anyone have any tips?

Cheers

welcome to tmf, from one channel islander to another!

oh and nice mini, had a neon as my first car, i found out some information whilst i owned it if you need any

[Neon91]

Thanks Bungle. And The Anorak would be ...?

Greetings back, crapaud! Yes please, any info you have, PM or whatever or I'll PM you my e-mail. What have you got now?

One immediate little problem - the horn doesn't work and I can't even see where it is! I seem to remember on the old minis they were low down in the front and got rusty.

Thanks for the PM and info Lewis.

Here are some pics of a wheel, and some of the tastier bits of rust! It's not too bad at the moment, but the floor carpets are also soaked, which will need some investigation. Probably par for the course with these, and always difficult to pin down leaks. The doors have had the usual patching, but I don't know how well it was done.
(note to self: must re-size pics in future!)

Hi I do not think so, so tell your fellow members about this site...................

[Neon91]

Well ... actually I'm not quite a member of GMOC yet, as such, as I've only just got the car, but when I am I'll be sure to tell them all about it!
