Now, who wants to sell me a half decent Mini for under £1400? Must have MOT & Tax, and have minimal rust really. Best to be a 998 or a standard fit 1275. Can anyone help!?
Cheers

Then you're talking about putting a modified 998 in it?!
Just stick the 850 in it, get insured on your L plates, pass your test then get a quote for your 1275 and throw that back in it.
No one will make fun of you because your car doesn't go like stink on L plates, they'll make fun because you're on L plates.

Basically, a 'tuned' 998 looks identical to an 850. By 'tuned' I mean something with a mild cam in, slightly larger head. Just so it's not absolutely dead.Im quite confused, you cant get insured because as soon as you tell them you're on a green prov. licence no one will insure you because it's modified? (the same happened to me).

I've decided to keep it as is, get a cheaper runabout till I've passed my test then see what I can do and where I go next.
And they don;t seem to know anything about the engine change. It's been changed to a 1275 on the log book but all insurers still think it's an 850. Surely they should be informed it's now a 1275 on their systems...?

It doesn't, would just be nice if it was. And it's also the cheapest car to insure, at £752 for a 1000cc compared to £1333 for a 1.2 Corsa...Why does your run around needs to be a mini though? You could get some other old car for just a few hundred pound.
