Don't like sportpacks to be honest but a Mini 40 would defo be on my list.

In My opinion the 'best' for collectability and general leisure use would be the RSP Cooper 1990/1991 limited edition of 1650 with 1050 in UK spec and believed 6 originally in Ireland ,next has got to be the 1996 Mini Cooper 35 , 200 made in Almond green with porcelain green leather . next in my opinion would be the Paul Smith ltd ed , after that its got to be a mini 40 , 250 made in OEW , Blue , Mulberry , really special interior all are sportpack which I personally don't like as wheels too heavy and will need 'Moulton ' smoothride kit to make any way driveable . I have not mentioned the early minis ie perhaps the most collectible MK1 Cooper S etc as you will have to pay 'lunatic' money for a good one and a restoration will also cost mega €€€ to do correctly . Cabriolet is also a matter of personal taste , We already have 4 of the 248 made in the Club and expert opinion is that only about 160 are left so get a move on if you want one . a few years ago Top Gear tipped the RSP as the one to collect , watch out also for an RSP 'S' of which 78 were made by JC Garages .

Your top 3 are actually the ones that I would struggle to choose from and my classic when I do get one will most likely be one of those

Its almost a year since we talked about this, but hopefully this weekend one of my top 3 mini's will be outside my house, thanks to some help from the main man

I agree with Gers list as well but i'd add an open racing classic, BRG, cream interior and sunroof

Was looking and considering one of those, until something else got shown to me

Roll on Saturday

An 'R.S.P.' is one of the first modern Mini Coopers released by Rover in the early '90's Siobhan.
Very nice and very rare Mini so sought after :wink:
