A colleague is in the market to buy a mid-60's Mini, and is looking at this one. Anyone here know it?

There is that one ( which I think is from somewhere near Petersham ) and there is/was another one at Mayfield Newcastle , both owners have dropped the price a long way to get a sale , both of them are solid Minimatics with one or two minor problems

Yep, Maroubra, that's the one. I thought it was an interesting coincidence - there was a thread recently discussing the few MiniMatics left on the road, and then I'm asked for my opinion on one :lol:

So the owner's not on Ausmini then.. cool. Is there anyone in the area who might be able to have a look at it for me (liquid compensation provided ;) )?

[edit]

I'll throw this out there as well -- if anyone has for sale a Deluxe or K in moderately standard trim and good-to-above-average condition, I have a buyer ;)

The mini in maroubra has been on sale for around 1.5 years.
He wanted 10k for it and dropped it to 8k about 11 months ago.

I was looking to get that mini but purchased a 1275cc 1993 rover mini from Melbourne 11 months ago.

I like the interior of the car and the fact it comes with the jack.


Edit:
I am more then happy to have a look at the mini and send specific pictures if need be.
I work 15min away.

OK, so she's now decided that she wants a manual so this one is off the list. Thanks everyone for the feedback, and to danny_ for the offer to inspect. Much appreciated 8)

Nope the 998 & auto is now in a Blue 76 Clubby, somewhere... :lol:
