i didnt get it done, but sally from Mini and Moke World (Brookvale) http://www.miniandmokeworld.com.au
told me before i bought mine, Andrew can do an inspection for $99.
youve got to get it to him and book a time

other than that, i think you can ask someone from this forum to follow you to an inspection and tell you what they think.
it might be cheaper with a slab of beer

68matic unsure how much you have had with operator but he has not got a very rap with most mini owners, special thier prices. Just abnout anyone I have spoken to regarding has given a bad word.

Ryan23 I cant say I have any idea about the late model Mini's, give me a carby any day but I'm sure another workshop or someone will be able to have a good lookover it for you. Are you looking at the one on Ebay.

gafmo, thanks for bringing it up,
ive said my own experiences about them and it was rather pleasant with their answer for help and offer to inspect the car. ive heard things about them, and i dont think its my place to say them,
hopefully somebody with experiences with them can have a word

are there any other mini workshops thats in metro sydney that do provide inspection services for the early 90s model mini?

just get the No Real Mechanics Available to inspect it, after all it is in a mini workshops best interest to get you to buy a dodgy car anyway cause chance a re you'd get them to fix it !
