State of the market and a £4k budget

[Mr Peel]

Hello all. I'm sniffing around the market again after several Mini-less years. It'd be good to hear your thoughts on the state of classic Mini values generally and, more specifically, what chance I might stand of finding something neat, tidy and original for £4k.

Looks like anything with Cooper badges or stickers is out of the question, but then I don't really want another injection car. From what I've seen so far it might be possible to find a late 80s or early 90s 998 that fits the bill. I'd be looking to smarten up and tune it modestly at some point, but it needs to be clean, solid and unmodified to start with. What do you reckon?

Thanks
