1989 Rover - Austin Mini City E review from UK and Ireland
"Great little car, fun to drive, and just a bundle of joy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The trailing arm bushes wore out at 92000 miles.
Welding around the front subframe mount, the boot area and underneath.
I cracked the casing on the final drive, which resulted in taking the engine out to replace.
The exhaust needed replacing.
Headlight switch needed replacing.
General comments?
I think this is a great car, so much fun to drive! Handles really well on the small back roads, if not a big bumpy and bone shaking, but that's all part of the fun!
The work that I have had to do to it was well worth it.
