can't really go wrong with that. looks very clean. set of gti bumpers and some clear lights etc and it'll look  :cool:

my first car was a 1976 mini clubman 1100  :laugh:

interestin colour but the rest sounds good. any history to prove the milage coz that seems quite low. its less than i paid for mine with higher mileage. But mine was black and had a few more things on it like vr6 bumpers, a 40mil drop and years mot.

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:

Just check the buyers advice at the top of this page. Its about Vr6's but is relevant to the one you are buying .

just be patient mate. I know youv just passed your test and probably wana get on the road asap but the right car will come up if you keep lookin.

things like this often tend to crop up. Maybe too many doors, sh!t mirrors and non coded bumpers but wouldnt need much help to look better. I think its probably a bit pricey too but proves they are out there mate.

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:
