.....after having the AA inspection decided not to go ahead. However.....I did track down a nice wee white one eventually in Stoke and drove her up on Saturday. Shes's a 94 Cooper who is currently pretty standard and very tidy First mods include new gear change linkage, front and rear brakes (fronts to 4 pot alloy callipers with green stuff pads) SS RC40 and then moving onto the interior. Have not stopped smiling when I look at her
