I dont know of one but when you find one have a good look around the rear subframe and inner and outer sills, finding one that is original and not messed about with will be hard.

My first car was a mini clubman 1100, il never forget it as i spent months repairing it and welding new panels on it.

LOL Thanks, my dads first one was a mini 850, he had 7 more over the years, and he had a spraying buisness too so he repaired alot of rust too haha
LOL We have been scouring the local adds, auto trader and equivilents, and even ebay!
Most are either 200+ miles away, or not worth the time and effort with the shear ammount of rust on the cars

And check the front subframe mounting points, the A panels, round the windscreen seal, the rear screen seal, the roof drainage channels.....

Good luck finding one for sensible money. The price of decent condition Mini's seem to be rather mad these days...

Some how I dont think so Tim
Well Ive been so see a friends mini and I have found, I can fit my cougar and breeze on the back seats and tiny little boot
As long as It can fit a model in it Im happy

I used to fit an electric Zagi in the back of my old Mini.....

Interested in one of THESE? Got one with no rust(waxoiled underneath and galvanised body panels), 54,000mls, good tyres, brakes, radio etc but needs a new head gasket. Was useing it up to two years ago. In garage up on axle stands so brakes will need freeing off. Gasket went due to previous owner useing just water(anti freeze is also a corrosion inhibitor) to top up cooling system when pressure cap went faulty.

Im affraid I will have to turn you down on that offer Allan, To put it bluntly, I think it looks Very Eww compared to a classic mini
Thanks anyways
I have found a few now thanks to tim with the link

Gotcha. Thought you were only interested in spending 10's or 100's of pounds not thousands as indicated by the price of those mini's advertised.

Hello, thanks for all the Help guys, and now Ive found and bought a mini in Abergele listed for £750 but we got it down to £500, Going to give it a quick spin before the 'TLC' starts.
