Rover Mini Paul Smith

The Rover Mini Paul Smith is less of a car and more a piece of popular culture. Unfortunately, my particular example has been a non-runner for more years than I care to admit, so I used the recent bank holiday weekend to begin preparations for its return to road worthiness!

Random question.. do you think one of these would be good for a first car?

@Jamesss123456 Hey James, hope you're good? Yep, the Mini would make a brilliant first car. The later editions are getting a bit pricey but you can still pick up an early 90s version for decent value. Parts are really cheap too and everything is mechanically simple, so you can fix it yourself. Good luck!

Love this car and love the way you describe it as less of a car and more a peice of popular culture - great analogy.

@DanJunglistKelly Thanks Dan, your own Mini video is pretty awesome too.

Loved the video, am really looking to get one of these in a fews months funds and one being available permitting. Do you think around the 5.5k mark is a reasonable expectation to pay for one thats in good condition?
