Hi all

Making the trip over to Melbourne over Christmas and will take the opportunity to look for my first mini.

I have noticed that the car in the following advert has been for sale for a few months.

Has anyone had a look at it? Any background? I can recall someone looking at a red mini that the vendor also had for sale.

Many thanks
Glen

It's probably been for sale for a while because I'd say it's over priced.
The description doesn't tell you the engine specs or brakes, its on a club permit so you wouldn't get transfer and rego, and theres small things like bits of carpet missing, handbrake obviously not working and a grille missing.

For that money its up against cheap original cooper Ss, and late rover coopers with all the mod-cons.

I remember me and others on here picking the crap out of this one when it was up before and it was in the background of the other mini being sold

$17k and he can't afford to put a grill on it?

Hate to think what else it's hiding.

There is a grill with this car which has 4 spot lights on it alla rally car!! The advert for this car is terrible mostly due to the person selling it knowing nothing about mini's
