Just joined here as it was recommended to me by someone on mini forum. I had minis before when I was younger and I'm looking to get another for my wife. But she only likes automatics. I owned on once but it was so bad I swapped it 30 mins after buying it for a mk2 fiesta diesel. I'm going to post in the wanted section,but I'm so glad I was told of this site as I think it will be useful in the future. We have been looking for weeks now but are always pipped to the post or the eBay auctions get pulled before they end. It's been frustrating to say the least.

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum, people who like auto mini,s are a rare breed, i salute you. I guess its all about the budget.There was a fella on here a month or so ago selling a jap reimport which was fairly cheap. Go for a 1275 as they have a biy more grunt, and the later ones, post 92 have a better gearbox. Happy hunting, Terry.

A bit of a thread revival! Well I finally got a mini auto. I bought a sorry looking 1000 SDL from a museum a few years ago but job changes and moving house put paid to any progress...that was until Covid 19 and getting furloughed. It's nearly done and we are very happy with the result. However when I got it the ignition system was in pieces so never got it running. I'm getting close to that point though so fingers crossed. I have high hopes though as when I removed the rocker cover and tAppet chest covers its immaculate with no sludge.

Good to hear you've stuck with it. I've been working on mine throughout but have yet to try and run the engine. Part of me is keen to see how it runs, the other part of me is a bit scared of what I might discover. Guess you are in a similar position. Best of luck with it.  |
