just did an 1982 mini ... only £777, it doesnt fit what i wanted in terms of space haha, but i do like mini's
A 1982 mini wouldn't be practical transport to be honest.........
I'd have thought that if you want to get away with anything less than £££s wicked, you have to ask the broker for a list of things you can get insured for something acceptable, say 2 grand, and make your choice within that, bearing in mind that old cars can be troublesome and expensive. You may also have to bite the bullet and put up with something without much street cred, at least for a year or two, until you have a bit of an NCD and your age and sex tell against you less. Expect to get something boring or odd unless you want to be fleeced with the Corsa drivers.
