Mate of mine at work has a Cooper mini thingy cost him about 16-17k about 4 years ago I think, does that sound right? Think it's got the supercharger on it but can't be sure.
Anyway he started modding it for shows and ended up spending 32k!!! It looks the nuts but 32k?!?!?!

Nick from down this way does minis. He's always off out and about.

hands up if youve had a mini owned 2 a 1000 and 1275gt what a hoot!

I used to have a Black Mini 1275GT.............and then I swapped it for a T reg hand painted Honda Accord. DOH

Have you seen the prices for 1275GTs lately.........

Im not making the same mistake with this old girl



Been sat in the same garage since 2004 but hope to have the old girl back on the road soon!

My mate has a 3 litre Capri thats been in his garage for the best part of 20 years. He hasnt touched it in that time, so probably rusted away eh?

It was probably mostly rusted away BEFORE he stored it

I've had 3 Capri's, 1.6ohv, 1.6ohc & 2.0GT V4, absolutely love 'em, but do they rust....oh yeah!!! And the V4's blow up every couple of miles!!!

[sparki]

there was a limited edition thing in SA called a Capri Perana.... 5L V8. they went well!

Had a brown 1275 flared arches, weller wheels etc etc loved it ...... oh hi btw
