If I was to buy a classic ...

Well, it's a Mini not a MINI so that narrows it down a touch!

Thats nice of you Niall, to narrow it down to 5,500,000 cars :P

Edited my post above when I re looked at the Title of the Thread :roll: :roll:
Think Cooper 35 or ERA 8)

I can see this thread going on as long as my "Hang on a minute lads, I've got a great idea...." thread!!!! ol:

I once had an A-Series Turbo engine like the ERA - unfortunately it was attached to a MG Metro Turbo body! Sold the whole car for £300 about 15 years ago - wish I could buy it back for that now.... :oops:

So no. not an ERA.

[MiniMpi]

I see you didnt rule out the Cooper 35 though!

[Step_7]

Hmmm, if there had been a Cooper 35 on my driveway I would never have had the keys in my hand - my wife would have got there first and would most likely still be in it! I might have to buy her one of those for her 35th Birthday which isn't for a few years yet!

So I'm right if this was a few years time then........ :roll: ol:
Cabriolet maybe?

In February? ol:

[MiniMpi]

Best time to buy one :wink:

[MiniMpi]

Is it a 'project' or a mint Mini?

[Step_7]

MOT and Taxed 'til November 08

[MiniMpi]

Could still be a project!!! ol:
Either way I wish you the very best with your hopefully new purchase :wink:
