I might just sell it and let someone else benefit Tunnie. I have more cars at the minute than I can shake a stick at, it has come at the wrong time for me I'm afraid... Hmm need to make up my mind  :-?

Think i've made up mine, I am very tempted, its low miles good nick. Be a good replacement for my aging 2.2, but if I add all the sums up I just does not work 

Mine just needs new springs and exhaust (which I already have bought for less than 200 quid) - and for someone who uses their car once a week at best, my old heap is worth using.

Don't break it, too many broken  And that's in what looks like mint condition, cracking miles too

I agree,it does look too nice to break

Had a good look at this car yesterday and I have to say it is virtually immaculate.

The body work all looks original without any signs of repair work in the past, the leather is immaculate and ties in with the indicated mileage, the wheels are immaculate and don't look like they've been refurbished.

So should Loo Knee have this as a project car? Personally I think it's one of the best examples of a 97 / 98 car i've seen in recent years and I really think you'd struggle to buy another example like this unless it's from the forum.

Too many cars? Yeh, know what you mean but it can happily sit in the corner of the barn as you do the work you listed off to me over the winter, besides, a your four wheel drive is a much better tool for the winter.

Though - if it is broken - I am after a set of doors for my 1998 Sallon MV6 - and if the colour code is Z200, then that would just be perfect....

So please let me know if she goes that direction.

I was very, very tempted to buy it, given its mileage and condition. I just could not justify buying a new car when I hardly use my current one

I agree with you Andy. It is the best conditioned Mini Facelift MV6 I have seen for a very long time.
My plan for this car is to get all the jobs I want to do before The Lakes Meet next year. This gives me plenty of time to get it Just So. If I am to put it on the road now doing the jobs as I go, it wont happen.
So what am I thinking of doing??
Engine out, re new head gaskets, oil cooler, exhaust manifolds, port the heads etc.... De grease and maybe paint the engine.. pink?? 
New vauxhall wishbones, stimetz springs, bilstein shocks, toyo tyres.

A few other things as I go along 

when I start I will start a thread so the progress can be seen to anyone thats interested 

So there it is another Classic saved
