Thanks lads, between myself and my father we own them, started with the city then the fever began!

the plan for the city is now that shes back from the paintshop, just put her back together we have most of the bits as we got her taken apart with a few bits missing! we are thinking of mabye breaking the green one to make the red one and blue one mint, as the green one has some major rust issues!

garage is fairly stuffed at the minute with the 2000 and 1990 the other two are covered outside, red one only just been taken off the road after 1 year of daily driving, never let me down!

nice collection of mini's, imo it would be a waste of an origional mini to break it because of rust... there are far too many being broke as it is.... and thats from a person who doesn't like mpi's :lol:
