Re: Car off the road
You need it to declared to be off the road for tax? if you put the car in some one elses name.. then back into your name , you can declare it off the road immediately. Hope this helps.

Re: How to tell if Ballasted or non-ballasted Ignition?
Yea there is.. if you measure voltage across the positive and negative on the coil you will probably find it to be 12 to 13.5v ish. This would indicate its a standard non ballasted coil.
If the pink was connected you would expect to find 6 to 7 volts across the same terminals.
Hope this helps.

Re: How to tell if Ballasted or non-ballasted Ignition?
The white and pink wire would certainly suggest that it was ballasted at some point but it may have been re wired. Others may confirm this.

Re: 92 mini aka bibsi
Ah its bad form in fairness.. I hope they dont have any luck for it. Hopefully people would have seen it advertised on here previously and won't get suckered. Its a beautiful mini by the way, would have loved to see it in the flesh.

All the rust was removed .. there was only one or two places the were a bit thin after it where the rust was a little deeper than surface. He primed it all the ...
