Man that's a pretty thing. My first car was a 1962 Austin Mini Minor. Black with a red roof and Cosmic alloys. I'm guessing the new owner was smiling as they drove away?

What a sweet Mini! Really good looking.
Change your mind, you'll regret selling it so much. You've owned it for 18 years? Keeping it is justifiable! :wink:
How long have you owned your E21 ? :sealed

it is sweet its everything I wanted in my 1st car but in reality i want to look at it not drive it and its done less than 500miles in 18 years being moved from one garage to another if I was keeping it though it would be going back on to 10in wheels for sure. had the e21 for 9 months but I know I will use it once its done. all is not lost ive tried to buy a e30 325is tonight (I want one so bad my dad had a new one when i was a kid) lets see if I get it its been in the same area all its life and done 79k from new. out with the old and all that.

500 miles in 18 years wow! You should remove the engine and use that car as a garden ornament or something :idea:
