Good first cars IMO.. just buy one with a good shell though

Cheap to insure,tax,petrol and maintain

2 years of driving, im still only paying £250 on insurance

Side impact bars and airbags make it alot safer than any mini before!

Nice one Rad. I've seen a few straight Rover ones with good bodys for around a grand.Always liked Mini's and think they might be an ideal first car for me.

How much should I expect for insurance?I done a quote on a 1989 one for 1300quid.Bearing in mind everything else,including shitbix Fiestas have been similar.

Thanks.
