I have come across a low millage 997 Cooper which has been off the road for some time. Apparently Gerg assures me it was only driven by a little old lady every Sunday on her way to church and has a little bit of rust in the usual places for a mini of its age. What do you think?

I thought it would be a vast improvement on Gerg's clubman :P Would be a shoe inn for next years Gannons Rust and Dust Class

Looks like a really good project. Are you sure it's a Genuine 997? Does it have the little disc brakes or the later larger sized ones?

That headlight dosesn't look original - that's extra expense getting the one with a curved front - I have some here if you want them.
