I paid 480 for my 1992 1275cc cooper id say that would be a lot cheaper as its only a 998cc and older

[neasha]

wow really? Your mini looks in great condition for that money, I paid 2k for my rust bucket and put alot of money into her and she still has problems:S

hi dont know what it costs to bring in a mini but if you go to revenue site there is a vrt calculater there that should tell you. but i think with the way things are now the least that can be paid is arond 3 to 400 euro. you should look on piston heads there are some really nice minis on there really cheap.

no i paid 1200 for my mini the vrt was 480 vrt on a 998 auto should be a fair bit cheaper

[neasha]

haha ah right

That's not cheep for an old 80's automatic.

Remember it's drums all round, with rust, I don't know why you'd want 10x7 wheels on anything that isn't a track car.

If it helps, I'm pretty sure I know that car.

I brought it back from the UK with the previous owner in 2006. It pretty much has all the traits of everything I didn't like in a mini: auto, 1l, silver, 80s interior but I absolutely LOVED it. Really tidy car that was ziebarted from new. You could eat your dinner off the underneath, and it had only had a few small repairs to the rest of it. It had just had a new gearbox at the time of purchase.

That was 3 years ago now, so it could be worse but it was a cool little car.
