Hi guys,
Reason for sale is that I barely use the car at all, and I want to use the money to go on some holidays! It has just had a little rebuild and fresh paint. Really the only place that needs work is the interior, although I like it as it is. Some of you may have seen this car around, it was on Speedhunters for the Readers Car Of The Year award. I'll post the spec below and also a link to a write up I did on Status Error.

Some Bad Points:
Points To Note:
The car has had 3 owners on the logbook, however the second was my dad, as I was under his insurance policy when I was 17. So really it's only had 2 owners. It has done around 65000 miles and was serviced at the dealer for most of its life. I do have a book which proves this but i'm struggling to find it, so if I do i'll let you know and include it. It's had a lot of money spent on it over the last 2 years i've owned it, and it only needs a few small things sorted out to be a properly done Mini. If it doesn't sell I don't mind at all so there's no rush.
It has MOT until October 2012.
Price wise I'm looking for around £2500 but offers considered. Car is based in Edinburgh.
If i've missed anything please ask.
Thanks

Some Bad Points:
- Rear lip which the bumper mounts on to is a little rough, you can't actually see it unless you look closely but it would be a case of filling it in or welding a bit of metal onto it. I can get pics if needed.
- Very small chip of paint on offside wing near the bonnet, I have a tin of paint which was left over from spraying the car to fix this.
Points To Note:
- I just replaced the Coolant Temp Sensor, Vacuum hoses and Lambda sensor.
- Comes with original seats, glass and window winders to put back to almost standard if required.
- Head has just been skimmed and have the paperwork to show.
- Starts first time no problem. In the Winter it is the same, starts on the button every time.

. I don't want to part with it, but it deserves to be used more often.
