Chance of getting a mini cooper s, basically its a 98 and needs some work.
its also blue which im hmmm about.

Mini i currently have which would have to be sold is mini 30, all restored and has been resprayed its basically the basic how i wanted it. as it stands it needs an mot and thats it. its also only a 1litre but changing engine isnt a problem.

Do i keep her or get the newer mini that wouldbasically eat more cash before i did any work on it, as it is i could drive it about its road worthy but little bits would annoy me.

35 was 1994

Anyway, if it's a proper 's' which will be 90bhp, go for it, they're quite rare.

A spotless one will go for about 8-9k, so it won't be cheap cheap

I thought the 35 had leather and the 30 didn't? Am I thinking of the 25?
