Hiya Pistonheads ,

Am a newbie to the site. In Uni studying automotive engineering at coventry. I'm looking to buy a classic mini. my dream model would be 1993 Mini 1.3 in Tahiti Blue!!. I know alot about mini and volkswagen golf's mk 1-3. Worked as a mechanic during the summer so pretty clued up and going to start working for a racing team from March during weekends. Anyone got any tips they could pass on to me?, what to look out for when buying a mini etc...etc.
