Yeah what kinda specifics are you looking for? Or how much money to you have to spend, and I can tell you what to expect. Also check out www.minimania.com and you can view their for sale section. Plenty of dealers and private sellers. I can talk with my friend Pete who imports them to see if he has anything on the way over. I don't think he has much available right now because his mother has been dying.

No hand has found my secret, oh no! Im guessing from what ive seen so far 3k doesnt go far on one. I have no preferencs really on anything just going to be a daily driver. I'll check out that site so i dont have to ask a bunch of dumb questions.

Yeah 3k buys you a rusty project car. 10k should get you a really nice solid daily driving 1275 with disc brakes, good paint, and good interior. Nice but not perfect. 15k and higher would get you a show quality car.

Thats cool. They're about the simpliest car to work on, and parts are cheap. Doesn't take a lot of money to make one nice and road worthy. I'd just make sure whatever you decide to go with, you find something very rust free. You wouldn't want to buy a car rotting under the paint and end up with a complete restoration job on your hands, unless thats what you are going for.

Here's your car. http://www.minimania.com/web/id/5340/ClassDetail.cfm



Its a british classic. Revinned to 70's from early nineties. They only made about 1k of these or so from what details I can remember. Can't beat the price for the car you'd be getting.
