hmm ok im new i no but im a mini freak and naturally i want a mini
i really like the classic minis but........ there are some.... hmm small problems.

problems:
1. i cant afford a cooper s
2. i have limited cash
3. i dunno whats best for a first car as far as models ( 997 cooper, 998 cooper, 850 etc

i need a bit of help in knowing what model to get and how much (roughly)

80%ish of us can't...so don't feel bad.

Get a Clubby.....widely considdered the BEST Mini ever made!

Now now anton... well all know thats not true.. And remember i got one of each.. unless I put that clubby flip on.. (NEVER)

Ahem............. um.... err............ *cough* Roundnose *cough*


Seriously Caponix, wanting any old mini is something you have to research extensively, they are not a car that you can buy and forget about maintenence wise, they require constant attention and nurturing to live long lives.... well in my experience anyways.

Anything below $3000-4000 is going to require attention which naturally costs $ unfortunatly. (Anton don't you even think about replying to this with the tired old addage of "What about Pops?" )

yeah nice call lol
i would say for a 1st one get the latest you can with a decent body and a 998 dry suspension
a leyland S 1976 or Leyland mini 77 78 or if you can find one a LS

1. you dont need a cooper s
2. what sort of money are you thinking about spending?
3. see above

yeah well me dad used to have an 850 and i kept telling him i wanna mini and he told me that "well mate i if you do, im telling you now that they are a b#tch to maintain " oh well i can always get him to help me

also the reason im asking about models costs etc. is cause there are no bloody minis for sale on the sunshine coast that means all research i have to do by looking at other states prices

hey anton clubbys are great arnt they what about granny 1000 dollar car in great condition
oh sorry sg

Yeah but Camel, 18 months worth of driving in tasmania is the equivelent of a months driving on the mainland.......... it's not a big place......... a trip to the shops for me is the same as a drive halfway across tassy
