Seriously considering returning to the Mini fold this year.

Having virtually no spare time for tinkering, what's the likelihood of finding a fairly fit example that's a bit more fun than bog standard but won't need constant TLC for no more than a few £k?

Where's the best place to start looking?

Your local Mini club.

I can bore you at length with the options on the 20th if you like.

My very fully specced 1990 Rover Cooper 1330cc Enduro Rally Car is for sale, ready to go rallying with everything new. It's done one event, the RAC Revival, where it was up to 8th place overall just before the end - then I went off (oh, sh1t).
It's in lovely condition and the full spec is available on request. Price is £6150 ovno.
84 bhp at the flywheel from the standard 'blueprinted' engine.
You've seen the photo on here.

Very tempting

Unfortunately I'm not looking to spend anywhere near that much (was thinking nearer to £2-£3k)

Get a rust free one at all costs. I bought my 66 on here for £1500, all I was interested in was the rust free shell. It is the best car on the road in my opinion.

I had a rusty mini (1964 mini minor) and it was heartbreaking.

Nothing beats a mini, I'm convinced. They are properly great cars. No one can get to work as quick as me (if I'm in a rush!)
