so I went out at the weekend and bit the bullet and got this little beaut...
A 1995 Rover Mini Sidewalk. nice we Limited (1000) edition version of the Mini Sprite.
Not a spot of rust on it and running as well as a 22 year old car should. Has had one owner since new and has only done 500 miles in the last 3 years. Was MOTed before purchase with no faults and so should be pretty sweet. Need to replace the fan belt as it is making some exiting noises sometimes but otherwise all good.
may also need sunglasses for that interior... I am Scottish though so almost get away with it.
Amazing the difference in running an older car. gear box is so blocky and having to double de-clutch at some points which makes it exciting.. nice to actually have to think about driving.. like riding fixed but for cars.
