Auto,s are a bit like marmite,but they are great once you get used to there quirk,s. 1275,s are much better having a bit more grunt ,and as Albanach said oil change is the important thing. 10w40 not 20w50 unless you have a pre 79 auto. And 2000 miles at most. Did the Nz mini,s have quarterlight windows and different door handles?.

Autos are normally owned by old dears...therefore garaged, serviced and looked after. Plus an Auto generally put less strain on all the rolling gear. Ive said it before, but we used to look out for brown or sandglow autos to buy as they were always in the best nick
