Last Saturday I finally picked up my first Mini after driving many aircooled VW's in the past.

Love how the mini drives! 

 

It is an original 1990's Mini Racing Green.

Third owner and really solid. Sub frame has been renewed three years ago. New MOT, with only one wheel bearing in the back. Below some more pictures. Have some small plans with the Mini, but who knows how it turns out.

Try to keep it original ----- and rare.  99% of Minis have been modified.

Very nice tgm!!

From the pics it looks very original.

You'd previously mentioned that the sunroof wasn't original, but (from the outside at least) it looks like the unipart part from 1990). Looks the same as mine from the positioning of the caps that hide where the hinges attach to the glass. Should be the same sunroof that was used as standard for the RSP of the same year.

As DS mentioned it is a rare ltd edition and will be worth more in original condition. But it is your car to do as you see fit at the end of the day.

Thanks guys! Any mods that might be on the planning are simply some different wheels (keeping these), center exhaust and maybe a bit lower on HiLio's but that will probably be it! 

What a fun to drive those!!
