That sounds like a fun mini!!!... I'm hopefully going to make it down to Cork to get some suspension sorted on my Cooper 35, but I'm looking for another sportspack cooper for my other half (well she thinks it;s for her ;) )

Any chance that volcano one is still for sale?? :D

Yes 1997 Volcano Sportpack is for sale as soon as We get a chance to put it through the workshop . I also have a 1999 Sportpack on the way with 16000 miles and full leather etc , and also a Paul Smith with Sportpack and a 40 as well .

1999 Sportpack is Green ( the lighter shade of brg) and 40 is Mulberry . Would take a lot of ££££ to extract one away for export again . but You never know

Can I rent space in your garage for 8 months? might be cheaper than trying to find one over here :o

It's always a possibility... At the moment I keep my MCS and the classic in the garage... If another classic comes along the MCS will be relegated to the driveway, but that's not necessarily a problem... how come you need garage space for 8 months??
