I know there aren't many aussies on here, but thought i'd post this up here anyways.
Decided to sell one of our matics. She doesn't get driven often (ie once a month or so) and with 14 minis in the family, we just have to many to insure, register and maintain.
We have owned this matic for 14 months. In that time we have replaced the whole cooling system. Other than that, it has just been oil changes every 700-1000miles and greasing. Has not required a single thing! 69000 miles on the clock, and other than it having been painted red other than its original beige, it is completely original. Engine is good, doens't blow smoke or use oil, no serious leaks, doesn't get hot, auto changes gears smoothly, overall a very nice car. It will kill me when she goes as its a nice ride being auto and on hydro suspension. But we are currently restoring another auto and 1 auto is probably enough.
The mini 50th vic mini show this car represented 1968 and the minimatics as we were invited by the organisers as this car is such an original example.
Issues with the car are that the red vinyl floor mat is torn a bit under the drivers feet, we have just put a mat down to try and save it from tearing further and the drivers door seal is worn out. Drivers door window is hard to get up as the regulator has torn away from the door frame. Otherwise I can't think of anything that this car will require for a RWC. Selling without RWC and without Rego as it is currently on club plates which are not transferable. Inspections are invited. Looking for $7000 ono.
