    I'm lucky to own #282 off the production line. Built in May 2001 and used as a demonstrator car for the dealership. For a 19 year old car it's aged very well compared to other cars from this era.
    Reliability on the other hand is quite something else.
    In the past 2 years I've had to spend over £4000 on parts such as the gearbox, clutch, a new engine..... but it still puts a massive smile on my face!
    The Y reg minis will most definitely become a classic sometime in the future hence why I am keeping the car

      What was an engine swap like? I’d imagine very expensive, but does it feel the same?

    I recently bought a 2013 Cooper S (R55) two months ago. So far so good. Extremely maintained by two previous owners, people think its a 2020 model. Only thing I've had to replace were the spark plugs around 56k miles which is around the 60k miles spark plug change quoted in the manual. Always a smile on my face in this car.

      DONT DO IT! I had the same urge, so I got a 2nd gen (R56) Cooper S. Worst decision I've ever made, and I've made some bad decisions. The engines in these cars are the most unreliable POS ever, just do a search for the problems these cars have, and you wont want one as badly.

      +acousticpsychosis Alas, it's true. I got a 2003 model Mini One 1.6 as my first car last year; it's fantastic in every way to drive, better acceleration than most of my mates cars and can corner faster too. But in that one year I've had to replace the radiator, clutch, wheel bearings, brakes and entire exhaust system. The problems only get worse with the original minis, but at least you can pretty much fix anything on them with a hammer and some scrap metal.

      I don't care. The car is the size of a golf. That's not a little car. Mini means little doesn't it.
      Sadly the American designer of this thing is an idiot.

    I like the old Mini much better, because it was actually small and fit the name. The new 'Mini' is big and shit.
