Hello everyone
My name's Will, and I have recently purchased a 1990 mini Mayfair auto. It is my first mini and my first auto, so you can't get much greener than me.
I look forward to participating in threads ad time goes on.
Cheers!

Hi Will, Welcome to the forum. I hope you have many miles of fun with your automatic Mini. Is your car modified in any way do you have plans for it? Roger.

The mini is completely original, right down to the nuts and bolts. I do plan on some minor improvements externally, there are three rust patches the size of a 2p piece (that's all!!) which I'll address and has the typical 90s black plastic grill and wing mirrors which I'd like to replace with chrome, the only other addition is the wheels which are the original steel 10s, I'd replace those with alloys fitting to that period. Other than those small tweaks, who are we to mess with the original designs put down years before us? The interior is a slightly different story, it is the original dull grey found everywhere in the late 80s early 90s so I generally want to brighten things up and ultimately create somewhere nice to sit, carpets, seats etc.
One original feature I'm keen on keeping is the original Philips radio, however I have the code and the original instruction manual, which I'm following to the letter, but I can't get the thing to a point where I can enter the code. One thing I have noticed is that rather than displaying "-C-" when I switch it on I see "-C" one less hyphen, does anyone know if that has any significance? Or know what I'm doing wrong? I switch on > see "-C" > press preset button "1" > nothing happens, I'm expecting at that point to use the up-down arrows to enter the code. Any help there would be great. FYI -- I have created a thread under the "General" thread.
Thanks
Will
