Excellent choice in cars!

I grew up learning to drive in a mini and if you ask most British men aged 30-50yrs old most have owned a mini at one time in their life!
Cheap fun cars to drive and own

Spares and modifications are CHEAP!!!!
You can buy a new, complete modified high performance engine for about $3-4K
Immaculate Cooper S circa 90's (not mk1 models) can be had for under $10K and you can get these switch to left hand drive for not much money
I see yours is right hand drive - which is always an issue overseas.

I may be looking at these cars in the not to distant fiture when I have to cash in my Porsche collection for my next property

Have fun!
And happy new year!
