Clearly you got a thing for the old style,  air/oil cooled, carbed models. The 00-01 injected 900 of interest? Then theres the 1000 1100 models. I see you sold the S4R. The injected 900 and 1000 models are still based on the old shape with a few revisions. They are smoothed off a bit.
I think the 93/94 models look the toughest style wise.

That mini brings lots memories.  When I Was a kid my neighbor had a mini and I used to sit next to him while he is constantly working in her and hand him tools.  Cool car!

Me too, my dad had two of them, both Leyland clubman's, in the rain they always broke down because the distributor was right at the front of the engine. Great memories

An empty two litre plastic milk carton cut in half and cable tied around the distributor is a great fix for that problem  [thumbsup]

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my better half will sell my Ducati's and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

I hear a voodoo doll that resembles the Prince of Darkness helps too.
