So, this followed me home yesterday, and Mrs. Hire says I can keep it.
It's a '96 Rover Mini Cooper with 20,000 original kilometres on it. It's just been imported from Japan in January, and has never previously been plated in North America. Have a stack of records, and it's got the the 1,275cc engine with fuel injection and air conditioning. The thing is mint. I just took the black plastic wheel arches to have them painted to match the factory Flame Red paint job.
Going to be getting some Mini Lite 12" wheels on it too, if I can find any 155-70R12 tires. Might be sweet to tool around with for a year or two and then sell.
