£2k is not enough for a rust free mini, more like £4k and then you have to be quick. The last mini I had was nearly rust free and sold for £2.5k and that was 8 years ago, it was an early 1960 with proper period mods though.

Not proper rust free, just not rusting in the bad areas yano. Floors etc.

They never have anything decent on there. Well it depends what you're after. In my case they do actually never have anything decent.

Body work and rust is always the hardest to sort IMO, I'd rather a knackered engine with sound body work over a strong engine and a rust heap.

Do such Minis exist? One is on my list of itches to scratch, but I much prefer spannering to welding.

Blimey! That's a late one, I've never seen one newer than '71.
Look forward to the pics!

My mate had a '73 "Cooper".

It was the correct colour and everything
