GOOD BITS Upper body in very good condition, original paint (BL Dark Blue), very minor dents and marks, some surface rust repairs made.

Original Sills in very good condition, small patch repairs remain rust free and solid, rear inner sill wells are rust free, floors are rust free. rear subframe solid, has been repaired and remains in good condition.

Nice looking little car, I once had an 85 Mini City E in that colour and it's called Eclipse Blue if I remember correctly, mind you I got mine all sprayed up to look like a Cooper! Oh and the seats are definitely not leather, they never came with leather seats, not on a City, they're just vinyl seats with sawtooth type cloth inserts.

Wasnt sure, was just a quick look last night in the half dark after I got it home. Put a good battery on it and cleaned up solenoid connection this afternoon, started after some adjustment, runs very well, good solid engine, and no smoke either!

Well I hope it finds a good home as it's too good to strip etc, but as it's a City it's really a sort of blank canvas and like I said, I gave mine a Cooper makeover when I had that City, but you can do lots more to it really, or keep it standard and pure too?

Taffy

I think if i was going to keep it it would be great to convert into a mk1 lookalike, with the single gauge dash and drum brakes, but the flexibility of a late 998 engine as used in a metro, still good for modern driving even in basic form, would look good in old english white with a black roof.
