Question Advice please Italian Job Mini

I am very interested in Mini Italian job 1993 that I have seen locally. I have made arrangements to view it this weekend.

Does anyone who is in the know have any advice for me or any comments about this car?

I would be really grateful

Saad or LowandSlow would be your best bet for advice on this, and JohnnieP also, they should be on the forum later hopefully and be able to help. My knowledge of Classics stops at the door i'm afraid.

Many thanks - I look forward to a bit of advice from someone in the know. I want to be armed with even a little knowledge when I go and have a look on Saturday

sorry only just spotted this i used to have a red one that changed hands to saad. great cars the nearest you'll get to a cooper without it being one. usual things to look for under headlights, door bottoms, skuttle panel, a panels and front floors all for rot. only thing to keep an eye open for is if you want to keep it stock it should have black bumpers, door handles these are hard to find and cost more second hand than the chrome or stainless items (good haggling point ) oh and the steering wheel should have an italian flag in the middle if it hasn't they are hard to find as well. let us know how you get on dude
