Windscreen wipers stopped working after 55,000 miles. Had a new pair fitted at my local garage.

This car drove like a dream despite being cramped and having next to no luggage space.
Well, errr, no interior space? Cmon when your car is less than half your height your asking for trouble lol.
I've got a 1965 mini and I love it, but you got to remember its like a four seater sports car, its not a real family car (even though original adds said otherwise!) So if you want luggage space buy an SUV, but then you don't get the cheap thrills of a 1275 mini, it's a compromise.
I don't understand. I'm 6'2" and sat in a 1971 Mini at an autoshow and fit fine. Yes it doesn't have great luggage space, but that's not its purpose as the above poster states.

The Morris Cooper 's' was never designed to be a family vechile, it was designed as a high performance race car. The reasons why most police and works cars were cooper 's'. The ones with the better luguage space was the cooper or deluxe, they were also the more smoother vechiles. Remembering the cooper 's' was only ever engine and gearbox and what was lost in smoothness gained in torque.
Hmm, i had a '67Mk1 Cooper S which I sold in '02.Parting it iz the biggest regret I have on my cars! Sure the Mini's not an all-rounder "Best car award" thing... but no other small-car
