Seen a few around looking like the day they rolled out the factory.Mint and stunning.(one sporting an I hate BMW minis sticker ) Are they having a comeback or something?Bet they are worth a few quid

Never had the joy of having a spin in one or indeed owning one but i think they look great Prefer them to the new mini (though the occupants do appear to be bouncing up and down even when driving on the flat!)

Always liked the idea of a type of classic car to shower love and attention on.Old golf gti sort of thing made back to new.

Anyone got or owned an old type cooper? Are they fun? I think they're great

Laurence, I've had the same idea. A mate of mine has an old T reg 1.3 mini with cooper carb on it and 7" wide wheels and lowered suspension. It handles better than anything i've seen!

If i ever get a company car its something i will do

I had a mini, (dreamed of a cooper ), was a 1.3 but Christ it must have been the fastest 1.3 car ever made. The car had no weight and was very low so it went like stink and handled really well! Sadly it was also a bad rustbucket...

I was just on about this over the weekend. Expect to pay

i got one it's me toy now!

The mini season is about to hit full swing now, there was a show just outside of Stourbridge on Sunday so there were loads of nice examples floatin about.

1380cc engine and i didn't put those **** stickers on meself! I got paid by French connection to put em on for a publicity stunt a few years ago. (i wanna take em off but me mates won't let me )

ps - avoid later injection engines - u can't tune em as easy
