As in Prospect in the western suburbs of Sydney? I'm sure there'd be a few out that way.

thanks guys

there's a mini on ebay that looks interesting (my son is still hankering for one)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... :IT&ih=017

do either of you know the car at all or would be able to have a look at it for us?

I have the owners phone number and can pass that along

cheers

kevan

I don't know the car although the numberplate does seem familiar, maybe I've just seen it around or confusing it with someone else.

Edit - the car and numberplate did seem familiar. I just did a search and found an ausmini person on here with the same ebay username, so maybe I've seen it at a dyno day or similar. So there is a good chance they are on here.

I MAY be able to have a quick look on Sunday, but other than that, would not be able to get there in daylight before the auction ends. Do you just want a general "it is as he describes" type look or something specific?

a general is it as he describes it look would be fine

I know it has very little interior (can tell that from the pics)

interested in how well the body was prepared for paint - rust repairs etc and if the engine/gearbox seem to be ok

only if it's no hassle KB - don't go out of your way

chers

PM me his telephone number and I'll ring and see if he is at least available on Sunday. I think I have Gafmo's number as well, so maybe the two of us can pop out on sunday for a look-see for you.

Gaf - The motogp is on this weekend, so mid-morning to be home by 2pm suits me best.

Says 1.2 motor so its a bit ambigious either as to small bore or big bore (yeah I know +40 pistons) so either way it really should have disc brakes - easy to check with minilites.

I've emailed him about the motor, but havent got a response yet. Not that I'm interested, but the more info we can get the better. Rehab has been looking for a while, lets find his boy a Mini :D
