Have had the car for 30 years, like any British car if driven at least a couple times a month they are VERY reliable. These cars will break when they sit. All original white with black top original MINI Cooper

I needed a bakkie (pick up) for my shoeing business, but couldn't afford a lot - hence the Mini Pick up!! She served me well, but struggled with the huge hills in Grahamstown when I went to Uni. Was sad to see her go.....
