hoesit guys.
since this is a classic car forum, (yup our rides are classic)... I figured it would be a great starting point insearch of a Mini cooper the old school original non bmw conglomeration!
So looking for a mini clubman, 1275, or the sort. Condition of body and chassis super important, interior preferably complete and with a running engine, doesnt have to be a perfect engine but i mean it has to start and drive.
My dads looking for a toy and i also always liked his old cooperS when i was like still too short to look through the windows.
I once saw a red one for sale in Brakpan on hospital road but didnt stop and make an effort.
Cost: not looking for a showroom condition vehicle so not looking to spend tooo much as i honestly cant.
So if anybody can point me in the direction of an unfinished project or an unwanted space taker lemme know.
Thanks guys.

Re: looking for: Mini clubman or the like
Ive got 3 minis as well as my square and have been fiddling with them for many years. I can tel you now that you'll be very lucky to find an original cooper project. My advice as a mini fanatic is to find a nice strait and good running bull nose (not the flat clubman nose), and with a bit of dressing up in the engine bay and out, you could have a really pretty, almost cooper spec car. Give Fernmin a call in Strijdom Park. 011 793 1712. Ask to speak to Jackie. They some times have project cars for sale.
