Snap, I have just bought a City E too, although mine isn't exactly road worthy at the minute. Things like no engine, glass and interior being the main problems. at least there is no rust anywhere on the shell. Should be fun putting it back together.
hope you enjoy yours

Nice Mini, looks like you're having some fun using it. That looks like quite a bit of bodywork on the front end to contend with there, fingers crossed for you it's not too bad under the skin. I ended up replacing my front end last summer, but I think I had more filler/rust than yours does! Have a badly edited picture from a fellow red, J reg, 998 City E owner   |

My last Mini was a City E which I fetched from Coventry. I came down the M42 in it and absolutely shat meself. It was very good on juice and I used it for work. Rust was a constant thorn in the side though. Yours looks like a nice solid little base. Remove the cooper stripes and graphics, stick on some nice group 5 arches and some fat 10 inch wheels with a bit of lowerage?
I can't belive the prices they're going for now.

I can't belive the prices they're going for now. Yep, ain't that the truth. I've always fancied a Mini (a pickup being top of the wishlist) but the prices just put me off! Not to mention their propensity for rust  When the van's done and the new house is built I may have a punt on one though, living in Suffolk, there are plenty of little roads to go blasting down. Looks like a good'un though, and the plans sound good as well. |
