• Mini 25 6 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  I have aquired a 1984 Mini "25" from a customer. It has failed the MOT and is beyond economic repair. It has a full history, i.e. every penny ever spent, and I was going to break it for the engine etc. However I have discovered that it's a bit of a rare beast, 1 of 3500 so being an appreciator of the classic car and motoring heritage I would rather see it go to an enthusiast for either restoration or the parts being put to good use to restore another "25".Where do I go, I have tried several Mini sites but they are all dealer run or want money to advertise with them.

Took it to the dealer, Inchcape in Colchester, who scanned it, and identified their customer, and called them to let them know the keys had been found, and as it was in the next streer, very close to me, I offered to drop them in.

• First car - Mini or Beetle? 17 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  Adrian Flux recommended a 1972 Beetle for low insurance so we're now thinking about this or an old Mini. Which one is better as in reliability, cost of servicing and parts etc? My son has just spotted an old Hillman down the road for sale so is looking for quotes for that, bless.
