Just another heads up on number plates - You can also buy them on Amazon all legal with makers marks etc. Free delivery even if you're not a prime member. Not been asked for log book details etc as most of those selling on Ebay now seem to ask that you send them your log book or entitlement. Just ordered some for my lads golf as his were looking a bit knackered. Went through MOT no probs.

These are underestimated cars. I got one a fews year as a stop gap but I've still got it as it so much fun to drive. I had a 1275gt mini and somehow it sort of manages that direct rack and pinion feel. It's also very impressive at cornering, I've surprised a few people with really late braking and high corner entry speeds.

spotted one of these on Copart Lovely Mini one 08 plate in red, 69k miles only problem was a bit of Laquer peel on the bonnet near the badge and a scrape on the back bumper. Copart est. price £2,700 when you can buy for around £1,700 most expensive one was £2,100. Can only assume if went for around £900 and it seems to be the price you see for most vehicles unless its a BMW or Audi in a newer year range. Wasnt so Keen on these videos and overall this channel but 100% love it now and find my self watching more and more.

Terrific buy Rob! I’m going to be looking for a car for personal use, and I believe that if I found one with that kind of damage, I’d have just put the plate on the front, fix the inter cooler, and down the road I’d go. I know you but and resell, but for my own personal use, a few blemishes wouldn’t bother me. Great stuff as usual!

So who ever is thinking of starting makesure u do your research first and choose only cars that you know very well, otherwise you’l regret it after. You have to have a realiable mechanic and bodyshop people. Start with cheap cars and then only work within your budget. Cat U are bery risky.. Cat S and N more less risk. Makesure you onow exactly what you want out of it. Don’t do it for the sake of it. 👍🏽
