Classic Mini Cooper differences ?

[IceBoy]

Hi All,

just after some information.....I have seen various classic mini's for sale and am drawn to the later models 1998-2000.

Some look skinny versions with the 1275 engine and others look to have wider alloys and arches and have 1.3i engine.

What are the differences and why?

Which ones are more desirable?

My son wants one as his first car....he is only 13 at the moment and I'm thinking tuck one away for him and a bit of investment too?????

I think they have a different interior as well. That is what is confusing me.

Is one a Rover mini ?

The ones that have big fat tyres and arches and leather??
