1986 Rover - Austin Mini City E review from UK and Ireland
"The most fun you can have on four wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's a Mini. It won't start in the wet, water leaks in through the passenger door seal, the drivers side headlight keeps cutting out, the front subframe went and the brakes need constant attention.
General comments?
Forget all the above. You either love the Mini or you hate it, and I love it. I've got a fibreglass front for it and a 1300cc engine, disc brakes and bucket seats just waiting to be installed.
