Cool! Besides the box, much wrong with it? Looks quite tidy, from the outside at least! The stoppers should see you good ;D |

Lewis - gearbox grinds, rattles, hard to get gears, was stuck in reverse so a possible layshaft problem, hopefully I can get rid of the braking problem the gooon suffers from for good now Street - I've spent nearly 12 months looking for a cheap mini, its does need new wings but all the panels are original, floor is mint, has new discs and pads fitted as well |

Excellent brown Mini. Love the velour seats!
Does it come with the denver boot, or is that your security measure?

The car isn't insured at present so the boot is there to protect the investment ROFL

Is it a 998? If so I've got a complete engine with a low mileage box you van have for nothing. Engine is dead as the big ends have gone but the box has only done 36,000 miles.
