Hi, sorry, haven't a car to sell you, though you will almost certainly find one in the back of your local paper that suits you - especially if you're willing to do the work yourself...

The only niggles I live with on my mini are crap wipers - they lift off the screen above 80 so not much fun also I suppose 3rd & 4th are badly spaced...nothing else really, but then I have spent a huge amount getting it like that (£4,200 )

Just post up any questions you have

Not a niggle but something you will have to get used to if you are used to normal cars. The mini rattles, I don't know why but every mini I've been in has rattles which you can hear but nothing is wrong. I'm actually conviced that when they build them there is actually a "rattle thingy" or the mechanics throw half a dozen nuts and bolts into the chassis.

Still worth it for grin factor

Squeaks and rattles - such a pain in the arse and oil leaking from where the linkage enters the gearbox, its bloody perpetual.
