Hi Phil,
This Mini I have is a real 1995 Mini with 40,000 miles on it. All British, no
Beamer parts. Those are nice, but the old ones are better. It is a John Cooper
with the 1275cc engine and walnut dash.
Even at the "high" price of gas at $1.90 a gallon, it still costs only $9 to
fill and runs all week. It down averages the Range Rover to a more acceptable
gas (Petrol) weekly expenditure.
Kind regards,
Mark Pilkington
