Hey guys bit of a long shot I know but I'm looking for a first car at the moment and a Mini has become my desired first car. (What better car to do the job, right?) Problem is I don't have much cash to splash, so I was wondering if any of you guys have / know of any Minis that are under a litre (1000, 998, 970,848 anything! I don't care so long as it's a base) that I could pick up for around £1k or under? I am, of course, willing to do some work to get it right: anything electrical (dad's a car-computer builder who's re-wired many Mini's and bikes), I am prepared to do a little body work but really not too much as I don't want the hassle of re-painting and would like a fairly solid shell that would be easy to get an MOT on, would be fairly comfortable with doing a little work under the bonnet so long as I am made aware of what work needs doing, and I would be more than comfortable with interior work. I would also take on un-finished projects so long as the parts are all there and the shell and subframes are in a solid state with a fairly good motor. Sorry for the long and uninteresting post but I have run out of leads on the internet, if you know of any good websites (been using Pistonheads, the usual classic car ones, Gumtree and Ebay) please share as well.
