Classic mini advice

[wholyoak]

Hi

I am looking to buy a classic mini for some fun weekend driving. I’m ideally not planning to spend more than £3-4K but obviously keen to find one that is reliable and not rotting.

There are pictures below of one that is for sale - a 1990 model that has done 27,500 miles and has no rust or rotting to the owner’s knowledge.

Would be very grateful for any advice on whether you think this car looks in OK condition and worth £4k.

Many thanks, Will

Thanks. How problematic is the rust? How do you treat it?

Am I right to assume you need to keep the car in the dry, so can’t park it on the street?

Thanks

Will
