That looks like an awesome little tool. Had a 1275gt back in the day and loved it. Everyone has got to drive an original mini at least once (not that bmw scrap) to appreciate them 
Should get more pics up m8 but glwts

Could tell them its standard tho
take the badge off the boot and change the air box and bonnet and you have a sleeper 
you could even change the log book from 1275 to 998cc lol!

Deal! Haha! Yeah mate you should, they are the easiest cars in the world to work on and parts are cheap as chips. It's finding a solid one for cheap enough that's the hard bit. This one had a complete front end fitted before it was built and my other one needs sills and every rear panel repaired. You will get one with tax and test from around £1200 but expect it to need a bit work
