Anyway been looking around and there is a few she's kinda interested in...

No I do not have more pictures.The tyres are Korean,that is all you can get for Minis now. I said they were new, they are new in the sense that I may have used them to the Garage to get rego check that is all.
The tread is as you would get from a new tyre. The paint work is the
same as Wadham Stringer Racing colours. The bonnet is hand painted,
the red white and blue sides are some sort of plastic, put on by panel
beater. In a prang? I am a an HGV class1 Driver UK. 50 years
experience, and a membe of MIAM, and British Institute of driving.
Accident free record for over 50 odd years. Good drivers do not get in
prangs!
Simply put it, let me tell you the dash board fascia needs relining as
does the interior lining,hence the instruments being moved. I was
going to get it done, but decided to leave it as it is. Test drive?
That depends, I am not going to say right jump in and away you go.
Show me evidence that you can handle a Mini and we'll take it from
there!
Sorry if your on here, but i doubt it anyway cause he's at least 50-60...and before i get told off that's not old
Anyway, the car seems ok and I was interested in going around if she's keen and having a look...was thinking of getting a convoy out to this blokes place to show him we can handle mini's
haha..
The ONLY thing my sister care's about is the colour and that it's fast..she wants a yellow one
Bidding starts at $3,500..she's in no rush for one, but if the right one comes up she'll take it...
fair expensive for a seat i guess. more pics would be good im not sure why the seller doesnt have more pictures, if I were selling a car i would be giving as many pics as possible. maybe theres something wrong with the back end?
