Planning on buying one in the next six months, always wanted a classic mini. My father being a huge mini fan and owning 7 in his lifetime, since passing its really encouraged me to finally purchase one. Will definitely be watching this again before getting one! This is such a clean example of a mini and I'm very envious of you! Great vid and really good advise! Thanks mate.

Usual areas that rust on a classic Mini = anything that is not made of glass or plastic! 😂

[@MrDJC]

Correct 😂

Just bought myself a 1988 jet black mini for my first car . Just needs some tweaking and it will be on the road in no time :)

[@MrDJC]

[@ridouancha8370]

hi, How much did you buy your mini? and what is the mileage?

[@IamMagPie]

In your video you say "do your research" quite a few times. This is why I watched your video...

[@MrDJC]

Ha ha. You really need to

[@andy86i]

That car has done the same mileage as my 2005 VW mk4 Polo.. mind if I ask how much you paid for it?

[@MrDJC]

If you watch my snowy Q&A you’ll find out about everything.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

I've had two minis one when passed my test and just after, the second one a mini 30 which had the twin carb john Cooper works on it,but the issues you said are there main one is rust.

[@MrDJC]

[@MrDJC]

+Lee Brown It was fitted before I bought the car. Sorry

[@nosoundafter]

Top content boss, hopefully I’ll be able to get one of these soon.

[@danielbirch9590]

What would you recommend regarding storage of the mini? I am seriously looking at getting a rover mini but I can only store it on the driveway.

[@deltafoxtrot2]

How do you repair a panel gap on the car?

[@MrDJC]

+Bradley Crandon not sure what you mean

[@Merchello]

This guy weirdly enough sounds like Karl pilkington

[@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491]

Later minis rust more than leyland ones

[@MrDJC]

+- SARGNT Clash Royale and More! - yes they do for some reason.

[@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491]

Mr DJC probably down to metal quality, I will be driving a 1980 1275gt when I'm 17 so I can't wait!!

[@MrDJC]

+- SARGNT Clash Royale and More! - great you’ll love it

[@badwolf2223]

Rust buckets

[@markellis4229]
