• Hey all,

    Anyone here (I imagine there are a few) owned a 90's Mini?

    Have longed for one for as long as I can remember and now I am in the position of being able to get one and making some use of it, I have decided it is time to commit.

    I have little car skills, although wouldn't be averse to learning some and am wondering if a mini would be too much work and hassle?

    Equally, I have never driven one. Are they even worth considering? Am I just blinded by their sheer Britishness (non-UKIP Britishness don't worry) and a childhood dream?

    Thanks,

    TC

  • Great car to own for a while, I learnt to "wrench" on cars on my 1993 Mini, and it opened my eyes to how easy some stuff is that I used to think was really hard before I tried.

    Definitely spend as much as you can on getting one with the least rust, and know that rust will always be a problem unless it's been fully restored/rebuilt in which case rust will still be a problem, just in 5 years rather than next year.
