Just bought myself a wee 2000 X Cooper Classic in red.
1 owner car with 27k and full rover History with a pile of reciepts.
It was sold new by Nobles and the woman traded it in there at the weekend. I spotted it lying round the back so spoke to Dave Noble and he said I could make him a bid for it if I was interested.
took a good look round it last night, wee drive and deal done.
Mechanically it is perfect but bodywork is pretty rough.
The old lady has been parking it off walls and other cars I think and due to leaving it out all the time and using over winters it needs a bit welding done to the front inner arches where it meets the sill.
Def needs 1 A panel but it may need a door skin due to a dent with corossion starting at it. Going to try and grind the corrosion on the door down but if its bad, new skin.
Everything will need painted except the roof.
Plan on starting to strip everything down this weekend.
Its currently residing along with the Calibra in my folks double garage (yes they love me)
Only pic I have at present taken with my phone just before I took her home
Follow this thread over the next 3-4 months for the full restoration jobby.
