Hunting for a Mini (Austin, Morris, Cooper, Clubman)

I always liked Minis. Especially after I saw this video many many years back.

My Mini crazed started after I sold off my Nissan Sunny 130Y. As I sold it to a malay guy, he told me he had a friend who wanted to sell a Mini Clubman. And I went to check it out with Andy Yeoh.

The Clubman we saw was in a bad shape.

Rust everywhere, although engine looked good; it can;t be started. And it is also infested with RATS !! Rats droppings all over the place ! The owner willing to let go at an unbelievable price, however it was too risky. We had to skip the offer.

And, the search goes on... until I came upon a posting in www.mudah.com.my

Found a Mini for sale, good price, great condition, and from the picture, it does looked good.  And the location is close to home... Butterworth.

So, on 5th Oct, we made a trip down to Butterworth to take a look at the car. and... we got it! After a weeks of paperwork : Getting Puspakom and JPJ approval. I drove it home.

and... This is when the fun start !!
