Hi All Been four years since i sold my last mini and have just taken ownership of a 1996 spi sprite 55k miles owned by a friend for the last 8 years and has been sitting for the last two
Its current state: Was stolen twice the joys of limerick ! so needs:
new steering rack
lock set
dashboard rebuild
small bit of welding on drivers floor passenger door frame rotten at base but skin is fine which is strange
new bonnet as someone thrown a rock at the bonnet
radius arms
and brake rebuild on rear
immobiliser it not working as i can start it without keys and fob inside is manky and needs a good clean and new carpets red paintwork is now a lovely bright pink but im hopeful a good polish should make it respectable mini is completely standard and still has factory steel wheels so i think it is worth saving
The main issue is trying to figure out why the immobiliser is not working, my friend said it would only work on occasion before it was stolen. i now have no keys or fob . ill get a picture up shortly in its sorry state

You might know Jim Dawson (both junior and senior) who both have Minis. They have a bus company there.
