Still can't get into UK time, so up bright and early once again
I bagged this at a car auction I went to a few days ago. Was looking for a mini for my daughter. It's her dream car. It was purchased to do up over a year slowly, each time I come hone. Gives her a chance to get some no claims and also motivates her as she'll be using this for travelling to Uni. Not too happy about the 107 I bought her as a first car for use on the motorway. Little bit flimsy looking! Ideal for around town and local college though.
This one has a full (I mean full, last service at BMW 800 miles ago too) service history, mainly BMW with a few non BMW dealer shown in. Was owned by a lady and is remarkably free from stone chipping and paint damage. Of course all clear HP wise and generally in lovely condition. 104,000 miles.
Driving it home she drives spot on, love the supercharger whine and she definitely has a good turn of speed.
She's has a deep clean, snow foam, wash, clay bar, wash again and I've cleaned all the interior with a product to remove grime from all the trim (I'm a bit fussy about this aspect), but she was really clean in reality. However, I always deep clean the steering wheel, switch gear, etc when buying a new car.
Maybe start on the paint refinement today and add a coat of wax. Depends on the wind, it's blustery up here right next to the coast in Blackpool today.
Maybe post a few more pics later...
