Quite simply Jo... NO. There aren't many left. Keep this one alive.

My own opinion as ever.

Others may disagree but I'd go for a cheap normal box with 12 months T&T if I had a choice.

Incoming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!............................................

NO, NO and thrice NO! Don't do it unless you really have to.

I agree with Vince - sounds expensive, but will be cheaper in the long run (spoken as someone who doesn't care to think of my bills for bodywork [car not mine!]).

We bought ours to take the winter pressure off our other cars so he will be used but is constantly cared for to keep him going. Think of Carol, she bought another runaround. Starting a new insurance quote with no more no claims for Andrew and I as we have used all the policies on 4 cars would be the expensive bit. Depends what your pocket £ can afford. Would you be garaging him for the winter to protect him? Bear in mind they have to be insured or SORN nowadays.

No, if you don't have to to use him over the winter don't.

unless said mini is already rusty and going for repairs in the near future.............keep it off the winter roads if poss. The smallest bit of tinworm quickly turns nasty in the salt stuff. Thats my opinion anyways.  


My other vehicle is an 18T DAF MAN curtainsider!!

UPDATE!!

The estate has just been restored so no longer rusty...........so....................

Another car has been purchased...... more modern but with a old style vibe.............. we have bought a 2000 vw new beetle!!!  Well I had to have something a little different!!!  Should be getting it this weekend!!!!!!

We will still use the estate on nice days.... he does need a nice interior putting in him so still doing bits and pieces to him..... but he will be very handy when going to shows lots more room!!!!!
