1964 Morris Mini Saloon review from Australia and New Zealand
"A low-cost inner-city runabout with classic appeal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
All things considered, the Morris Mini is pretty indestructible. Having said this however, I'm assuming you'll keep up to date with the required maintenance. More importantly I stress that you remember to lubricate the suspension components and change the engine oil on a regular basis.
The 850cc Mini represents excellent value for money with running costs that won't break the bank. A little slow off the mark, but hey, what's the rush?
