1.0 Mayfair with full beige velour. Lushhhh. Fab wee 1st car - scary come MOT time though. Chicks loved it (or was it moi?) but I've yet to have half as much fun in something with only 40 ponies.

A car that was made for over fourty years with only slight mods. What else do you need to say ? Find a car that can out handle a mini (except F1 cars). They are the most fun car ever made.

Cramped, noisy, slow, lousy engine, no brakes but go-kart handling - I loved it. Never took mine on a track, but have found memories of mine and racing Jonny around Stafford as a pair of bored teenagers in our Minis, normally in the rain. Handling and steering are both very very impressive, even 40 years on, and unlike the new 'Mini', its small. The best way to spend £600!
