hi chris,
Parramatta mini owner here. I think my model is refered to as the Sun Lover. It is a bit neglected at present. I bought it about 7 years ago from a girl living in units at Kirabilli. Her boyfriend talked her into selling. It seems because the carpark was unsecured, she was regularily having it broken into. The door locks are still pretty weak, so anything valuable gets locked in the boot. I find the sunroof works ok without the special button in the dash thats supposed to inflate the rubber seals. have the original heating, but replaced the tap that lets the radiater water through (it had corroded into green slime). Have heard you can get a booster or the heater- as bearly adequate in winter. Have thought about racing stripes as the respray covered original thin stripes that travelled along the side, but never made up my mind. Hows your restoation project going?

hey! thanks for jumping on!

you will have to come on a cruise with us all one day!!

oh BTW the button is used to deflate the rubber seal to make it open easier...
if you open it without presing the button you may damage the rubber as you may
pull it off :wink:

Cheers
Chris
