Looks nice and has some nice mods. I don't like the auxiliary gauge.

May have been resprayed as it has no stripes.

problem it's got issues cos it's got a black dash with uuuurrrrrggggh blue seats ----- nooooo ---- should be banned from sale lol :)

and at £3500 not bad - looks in good condition too -- wondering what i'd get for mine..........

why are they all up for sale up here cos it hardly stops raining and aquaplaning in a 2 is never much fun lol :)

It's only the dash top switch panel that's black which is standard for a blue interior.

I just noticed that it is ANOTHER auto though.

I have been looking for about 2 years now snoball and everyone I have seen that I like is too far away.

I am very tempted by one at the moment but its in Ireland. I don't mind the drive back, it's just the potential wasted journey if its not as good as it looks upon viewing.

Still....patience is a virtue ;-)

Where do you see the black dash, snoball? Looks blue to me. Admittedly every panel in a blue interior appears to be a different shade of blue (just mine?), but the panels I can see in the hoots look blue enough.

There's up north, and then there's proper north, cchrysos. I had to get the train to Northallerton to get mine - that's 300 miles. I rarely see one for sale any closer than TheNorth, 150 miles south of here.

I unite like these chambers asking big money: if we all stuck to our guns on price, our marque would be worth a whole lot more than some rusted out shed of a Mini.

Living in the North is definately the best option :-)
Having said that I come from Northern Ireland originally so I guess it is North West ;-)

it's definitely cheaper up north - well anywhere north of stafford anyways lol :)

i'd go for it cos am after one with an auto box - i'd consider swapping dorothy for it but that blue interior - sorry..............but it'd have to go..........

pete i agree on the price issue they really ought to be worth heck of a lot more considering that they are proper classics :)

pete proper up north is where me mom is living now on shetland lol :)

I bought mine from down south walking across London on the opening day of the Olympics was fun. So was the drive home when the head gasket went. 5 hour drive home with plenty of water stops. Good job I had a 3SGTE engine to put in

Well I bought mine in Eire and it certainly looked as good as I expected. Bringing it back was an epic journey but the real problem started when I took it for it's MOT. Floors are over rated anyway.....

However it was all over come and now I love it. Just need it back with it's new clutch.

Just noticed the registration number, I think it is very close to Ben's SE. He is in Le Mans at the moment but wonder if I can check.

Ben's is F227 OVU, these registrations will be saved for date related imports.

Never thought of that, of course they would be later registrations as SC were never sold new in this country so they would always be an import. Mine is an F reg and an import but got TRK not OVU.

I feel ostracised now.......

Maybe it depends where you import from, you imported from the Republic, the others came from Japan?
