Will this be a "classic" ??

Post by UHR850 »

This is a RETRO 1999 Mpi "MK1 Austin Mini Cooper S" :!:

What do you think of this, to buy or not to buy. That's the question :?:

Looks superb. If that is sensible money you have got to buy it.

Does look nice but I'm guessing you'd actually get a decent actual Mk1 for the same money ?

Big seats and tinted windows spoil the look. Is the dash converted to centre binacle?

It wood look even better with a black roof and some nice Dunlop SP's or 145 cross-plys.

Better to look for a decent, real mk1.

but is was sold very fast. The Swiss owner in the UK could not get a
registration on this one.
