Buying your first mini
Discussion
I'm currently 17, near to passing my test and have a real interest in mechanics, i'd really love to further this knowledge, so I though maybe i should buy a classic mini so i can get to grips with the engineering and mechanics within them, obviously as i'm only 17 money is a large factor in buying one, so was curious whats everyones thoughts on particular makes and models and which would suit my situation best, im looking to spend initially >£1750 and obviously road worthy would be nice(im not sure if certain years age better/worse then other) for the actual car, and i realise that as i'll be a relatively new driver so insurance will be high but maybe nothing obscene? Im coming here with relatively little knowledge on the subject as i realise i could've researched it, but who better to ask then the people who live, breath and eat them, much thanks.
I didn't really the work neccasary on them would be quite so extensive, maybe I'll consider buying one as a project car when I have more funds available? I'm not really into the whole 'modified car scene' so a mini or other classic seemed appropriate for me, but thank you for your time and careful consideration on the subject
