1983 Rover - Austin Mini Mayfair review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant handling, poor speed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump x 2.
Radiator hose.
General overheating.
The car leaked too which was hard to fix.
General comments?
It's a pretty noisy car and rider comfort is minimal. Not a winter car by any means.
The handling of the car is second to none and it could outcorner a 911, but it just doesn't have the speed to back it up.
Get some 12/13 inch wheels and bigger arches, and you're away!!
