Hi Jack
I was hoping you were going to get an old shape mini like Jo's blue one, i know Josh wants one and we were hoping if you got one then when we do the Southsea cruise we could recreate the Italian Job with red, white and blue mini's just for a laugh.
Food for thought!
Cheers Supe's. Squirrels in Lycra are coming for you!

I have to say, if I was getting a first car again, I'd get a Mini. A friend of mine had a Mk4 polo, it was perhaps a little bit nippier, but couldn't handle anything like the Mini could. You could throw that car around and it'd stick to the road like glue, can't beat a Mini as far as small cars go. The other good thing is there are so many aftermarket parts available for that car it'd bankrupt richard branson, and the sky is the limit when it comes to customising them, I've even seen one with a 540bhp ford v8 powering it. That mini could humiliate porsche's and ferraris, it could even stay with the McLaren F1 up to 100mph, when the aerodynamics of the McLaren would start winning out.

Go with the mini Jack. We could call you the 'Mini Men' haha!! I would love to have a mini. An older one preferably but we did go and look at the new ones up at Snows just before we got Lenny. All i kept thinking was i could get 3 Mustangs off ebay for the price they were asking. We knocked that idea on the head. If my lil bro sorts his mini out we would have a red one there and i am sure he would let his big sister drive it. Of course i would have to return the favour and let him drive Lenny !!

It might go cheap too because the steering wheel is on the right side, well for us yank drivers anyway 
Unless they have original documentation stating it was built in 1983, I'd just class it as an early Mk2. I know in this country they were still selling Mk1's in 1984 because that's the year of mine, still it looks like a tidy car.
I used to drive a Mk1 Golf and they're solid, the engine in particular was very strong. That's a 1.6 and it was pretty nippy. Only thing I'd say is check out the insurance. You may be able to get classic insurance for it.
